To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of the speed of the river flow (Vr) that allow a boat to row directly across the river without any drift. The boat's speed in still water (Vb) is given as 4 km/hr. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Drift**: - Drift occurs when the boat is carried downstream by the river's current while trying to row directly across. To avoid drift, the boat must be angled upstream. 2. **Setting Up the Problem**: ...
