$A$ steam boat goes across a lake and comes back: $(i)$ on a quiet day when the water is still and $(ii)$ on a rough day when there is a uniform current so as to help the journey onward and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch,on both days,was same,the time required for the complete journey on the rough day as compared to that on the quiet day,will be

Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not working. She walked up the stationary escalator in time $t_1$. On other days,if she remains stationary on the moving escalator,then the escalator takes her up in time $t_2$. The time taken by her to walk up on the moving escalator will be

$A$ river is flowing from west to east with a speed of $9 \ km \ h^{-1}$. $A$ boat, capable of moving at a maximum speed of $27 \ km \ h^{-1}$ in still water, crosses the river in half a minute. If the boat moves at an angle of $150^{\circ}$ to the direction of the river flow, then the width of the river is:
