WHEN WATER IS NOT FLOWING
let speed of boat=V speed of flow=0
let width of river=d
total time taken= d/V
WHEN WATER IS FLOWING WITH VELOCITY U
time taken to cross the river =d/Vcos$
where $ is the angle which V makes with vertical direction i e with perpendicular direction to tht of flow of water
this situation shouid satisfy for $
Vsin$=U so sin$=U/V
total time taken during still day=2d/V
total time taken during rough day= 2d/Vcos$ obviously 2nd 1 is gr8ter then first hence answer is 1

so t2>t1 as cos$ is always <1 got it?

tarun_bits

thank you..got it
