4. If rain is falling at some angle from vertical and has horizontal velocity 2 m/s in east direction. With what
velocity a man must move on the horizontal surface so that rain will appear vertical to him :-
(1) 4 m/s in east direction
(2) 2 m/s in east direction
(3) 2 m/s in west direction
(4) 2 m/s in a circular path

5. A boy is running on a levelled road with velocity (u) with a long hollow tube in his hand. Water is falling
vertically downwards with velocity (v). At what angle to the vertical, should he incline the tube so that
the water drops enters without touching its side :

River-Crossing Concept DPP-18

1. A boat is sailing at a velocity (3î+4ĵ) with respect to ground and water in river is flowing with a velocity
(–3î–4ĵ). Relative velocity of the boat with respect to water is :

(1) 8jˆ
(2) 5 2
(3) 6iˆ + 8jˆ
(4) −6iˆ − 8jˆ

2. A river is flowing at the rate of 8 km/h. A swimmer swims across the river with a velocity of 10 km/h
w.r.t. water. The resultant velocity of the man will be in (km/h):-
(1) 117
(2) 340
(3) 164
(4) 3 40

3. A river is flowing from W to E with a speed of 5 m/min. A man can swim in still water with a velocity
10 m/min. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the
opposite bank towards his north :-
(1) 30° with downstream
(2) 60° with downstream
(3) 120° with downstream
(4) South

4. A river 4.0 miles wide is flowing at the rate of 2 miles/hr. The minimum time taken by a boat to cross the
river with a speed  = 2 miles/hr (in still water) is approximately
(1) 1 hr and 0 minute
(2) 2 hr
(3) 1 hr and 12 minutes
(4) 2 hr and 25 minutes

5. A river flows from east to west with a speed of 5 m/min. A man on south bank of river, capable of
swimming at the rate of 10 m/min in still water, wants to swim across the river in shortest time; he should
swim :
(1) due north
(2) due north-east
(3) due north-east with double the speed of river
(4) none of the above

6. A boat-man can row a boat to make it move with a speed of 10 km/h in still water. River flows steadily
at the rate of 6 km/h and the width of the river is 4 km. If the boat man crosses the river along the
minimum distance of approach, then time elapsed in rowing the boat will be :
2 3
(1) h

7. A man wishes to swim across a river 0.5 km wide. If he can swim at the rate of 2 km/h in still water and
the river flows at the rate of 1 km/h. The angle made by the direction (w.r.t. the flow of the river) along
which he should swim so as to reach a point exactly opposite his starting point, should be :
(1) 60°
(2) 120°
(3) 135°
(4) 90°

8. A boat takes 2 hours to go 10 km and come back in still water lake. The time taken for going 10 km
upstream and coming back with water velocity of 5 km/h is :
(1) 140 min
(2) 150 min
(3) 160 min
(4) 170 min

9. A river 2 km wide flows at the rate of 2km/h. A boatman who can row a boat at a speed of 6 km/h in still
water, goes a distance of 2 km upstream and then comes back. The time taken by him to complete his
journey is
(1) 60 min
(2) 45 min
(3) 80 min
(4) 90 min
