Two identical boats A and B start from a point in a river with speed V relative to water in mutually perpendicular paths, A along the river current and B perpendicular to river current. If they move equal distances from initial point and return back, then find ratio of time taken by the boats A and B in round trips. Velocity of river current is 0.8V.

Detailed Solution

$t_{A} = \frac{l}{v + u} + \frac{l}{v - u}, t_{B} = \frac{l}{\sqrt{v^{2} - u^{2}}} + \frac{l}{\sqrt{v^{2} - u^{2}}}$

$\frac{t_{A}}{t_{B}} = \frac{5}{3}$
