A man can row a boat with a velocity of `v_(b)` in stationary water. If water is flowing with a velocity of `v_(w)` and if the if the width of the river is b, the time taken by the man to reach exactly opposite point on the other side of the bank is .

A

`(b)/(v_(b))`

B

`(b)/(v_(w))`

C

`(b)/(sqrt(v_(b)^(2)-v_(w)^(2)))`

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
