A swimmer can swim at 3 sqrt(2) km*h^(-1) in still water. He swims across a river when the velocity of current is 3 km *h^(-1) . (ii) In what direction should he swim to cross the river in minimum time ? In that case how far will he be carried by the river current if the river is sqrt(2) km wide ?

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) .
