Let us assume, the swimmer crossing the river in shortest path with minimum drift,
Let v be the swimmer's speed in still water and u be the speed of river.
time t taken to cross the river in shortest path is given by, t .......(1)
if we substitute t =5, d=60, u=5 in eqn.(1) and solve for v, we get v = 13 m/s
