Hi
I am not a student of class 11 but I am trying to answer the question I think the person who is swimming should swim at the angle of 54 from the one bank to the another through the upstream

Aditi1107: Your answer is incorrect
mfazal: Will you please tell me that answer I am not able to find that question
mfazal: I think angle should be 45
Aditi1107: it is 90 degrees
Aditi1107: I got the solution, it's fine I appreciate your hardwork and the time you spent on the question
Aditi1107: :D
mfazal: But what about the flow of water
