Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train $A$ moves north with a speed of $54\; km\; h^{-1},$ and train $B$ moves south with a speed of $90\; km\; h^{-1}.$ What is the velocity (in $m\; s^{-1}$) of a monkey running on the roof of the train $A$ against its motion (with a velocity of $18\; km\; h^{-1}$ with respect to the train $A$) as observed by a man standing on the ground?

  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $25$
  • D

$A$ river is flowing with a velocity of $5 \ km/hr$ as shown in the figure. $A$ boat starts from $A$ and reaches the other bank. The width of the river is $b = 300 \ m$. The velocity of the boat in still water is $v_{br} = 3 \ km/hr$. If the boat aims to reach the point directly opposite to $A$ (point $B$),but due to the river flow,it reaches point $C$,what is the distance $AC$ covered by the boat? (Note: The boat is steered such that it maintains a straight path relative to the ground).

$A$ boat is moving with a velocity $3i + 4j$ with respect to the ground. The water in the river is moving with a velocity $-3i - 4j$ with respect to the ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water is:
