If a boat moves a distance x down stream in time 't', then turns back and moves a distance y in same time 't'. If 
= m and velocity of boat is n times greater than velocity of river, where n is greater than unity then -
A
m ≤ 1
B
m > 1
C
m = 
D
m = 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION
(b, c) x = (V b + V r ) t and y = (V b – V r ) t also
V b = n V r
