A boat can be rowed in still water at a speed u. The boat is moving downstream in a river in which water flows at a speed v. There is raft floating in water and therefore moving along with water at speed v. Let the boat overtakes the raft at the moment t = 0.
Let the boat turns back at time `t=t_(0)` and starts moving towards the raft. The separation between the raft and boat after a time interval t' measured from the moment of turning back is

A

`(x)/(t_(0))`

B

`(2x)/(t_(0))`

C

`(x)/(2t_(0))`

D

`(x)/(4t_(0))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Speed of stream = speed of raft `=(x)/(2t_(0))`
Because the time interval is `2t_(0)`

A boat can be rowed in still water at a speed u. The boat is moving downstream in a river in which water flows at a speed v. There is raft floating in water and therefore moving along with water at speed v. Let the boat overtakes the raft at the moment t = 0. Let the boat turns back at time t = t_(0) and starts moving towards the raft. After how much time, measured from the moment of turning back the boat will cross the raft again ? Option 1 t_(0) Option 2 (ut_(0))/(u+v) Option 3 (vt_(0))/(u+v) Option 4 ((v+v)t_(0))/(u-v)
