A man of 50 kg  is standing at one end on a boat of length 25 m  and mass 200kg . If the starts running and when he reaches the other end, he has a velocity 2 ms1  with respect to the boat. The final velocity of the boat is : (in ms1 )

a
25
b
23
c
85
d
83

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let v be the velocity of the boat with respect to the water, then from conservation of linear momentum. (200+50)v+50×2=50×0+200×0 250v=−100 v=−100250=−25m/s
