The width of the river is 1 km and velocity of river water is 5 km/hr. There are two boats at the same point on the bank. The velocity of each boat in still water is 10 km/hr. One of the boat starts its journey along the bank, it travels a distance 1 km upstream, and return back. Simultaneously, another boat starts its journey to the other bank by shortest path and returns back. Which of the boat returns to the starting point first?

Width of the river=1km
Velocity of river water= 5km/h
Velocity of both boats with respect to river= 10 km/h
Let A be the first boat
Boat A in upstream
V= 10-5 =5 km/h. Width (d) =1km
t1 = d/v =1/5h =12 min
Boat A in downstream
Ú = 10+5= 15 km/h
d=1 km
t2= 1/15 =4 min
TA= t1 +t2= 16 min
Let B be the boat to travel along the shortest path and return
Total distance D = 2 km
Velocity of boat along the shortest path= 5✓3 km/h
TB= D/Vb=2/5✓3 =14 min
TB<TA boat B return to it's Starting point first
