Two boats, each with velocity 8km*h^(-1) , attempt to cross a river of width 800 m. The velocity of river current is 5 km*h^(-1) . One of the boats crosses the river following the shortest path and the other follows the route in which the time taken is minimum. If they start simultaneously, what would be the time difference between their arrivals at the other bank ?
