STATEMENT-1: A man can cross river of width `d` in minimum time `t`. On increasing river velocity, minimum time to cross the river by man will remain unchanged.
STATEMENT-2: Velocity of river is perpendicular to width of river. So time to cross the river is independent of velcoity of river.

A

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, Statement-II is correct explanation for Statement-I

B

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I

C

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is false

D

Statement-I is false, Statement-II is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given and determine their validity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have a river of width `d`. - A man is trying to cross the river with a velocity `Vm`. - The river has a velocity `Vr` which is perpendicular to the width of the river. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - The statement claims that a man can cross the river in minimum time `t`. - The time taken to cross the river is given by the formula: \[ t = \frac{d}{Vm} \] - Here, `Vm` is the velocity of the man perpendicular to the river's flow. The time taken to cross the river depends only on the width `d` and the man's velocity `Vm`. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - This statement asserts that the velocity of the river is perpendicular to the width of the river. - Since the river's velocity `Vr` is perpendicular to the direction of crossing (which is vertical), it does not affect the time taken to cross the river. - The time taken to cross the river remains independent of the river's velocity because the river's flow does not change the distance `d` the man has to cover vertically. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are correct: - Statement 1 is correct because the time taken to cross the river depends only on the man's velocity. - Statement 2 is correct because the river's velocity being perpendicular means it does not influence the crossing time. - Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
