A person rows a boat across a river making an anglen of 60^@ with the downstream. Find the percentage time he would have saved, ahd he crossed the river in the shortest possible time.

A boat which has a speed of 6km/h in still water crosses a river of width 1 km along the shortest possible path in 20 min. the velocity of the river water in km/h is

The width of river is 1 km. The velocity of boat is 5 km/hr. The boat covered the width of river with shortest will possible path in 15 min. Then the velocity of river stream is:

A swimmer crosses the river along the line making an angle of 45^@ with the direction of flow. Velocity of the river water is 5(m)/(s) . Swimmer takes 12 seconds to cross the river of width 60 m. The velocity of the swimmer with respect to water will be:
