Answer» tion:SPEED of boat = 5km/hspeed of stream = 3km/h since, both boat and flow of stream is in the same direction therefore,RELATIVE speed = 5-3 = 2km/hwidth of river(distance) = 1kmtime = distance/speed TIME taken by the boat to cross the river by Shortest path = 1/2 HRS = (1/2)×60 = 30 minutes |
