A boatman moves his boat with a velocity 'v' (relative to water) in river and finds to his surprise that velocity of river 'u' (with respect to ground) is more than 'v'. He has to reach a point directly opposite to the starting point on another bank by travelling minimum possible distance. Then

Velocity of the boat with respect to river is 10 m/s. From point A it is steered in the direction shown to reach point C. Find the time of the trip and distance between B and C
