Question
A river is flowing from 
to 
with a speed of 
. A man can swim in still water with a velocity 
. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the south
with downstream 
with downstream 
with downstream - South
with downstream with downstream with downstream The correct answer is: with downstream
For shortest possible path man should swim with an angle 
with downstream
From the fig,
So angle with downstream
