$A$ man swimming downstream overtakes a float at a point $M$. After travelling a distance $D$,he turns back and passes the float at a distance of $D/2$ from the point $M$. The ratio of the speed of the swimmer with respect to still water $(v_s)$ to the speed of the river $(v_r)$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $2.5$
