Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
According to Newton’s third law, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. A boat will go in the opposite direction if someone leaps off of it and onto the land. This is because when a person steps out of the boat, he or she pushes the boat backward with their feet (action). That guy can go ahead since the boat applies an equal and opposing force to him in the forward direction (reaction). Due to the effort made by the person, the boat travels backward because it is in water.
