A) 1.0 m/s
B) 0.5 m/s
C) 0.25 m/s
D) 0.43 m/s
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let u be the speed of stream and v the speed of person starts from A and wants to reach at point B directed opposite to A. As given, v makes an angle of \[{{120}^{\text{o}}}\] with direction of flow u, the resultant of v and u is along AB. From figure \[u=v\sin \theta =v\sin \,{{30}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \] \[u=\frac{v}{2}=\frac{0.5}{2}\] \[(v=0.5\,m/s)\] = 0.25 m/sYou need to login to perform this action.
