Assertion: To cross the river in minimum time, swimmer should swim in a direction perpendicular to the water current.
Reason: In this case river flow helps to cross the river.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False

Option C is correct because the assertion is true, but the reason is false. Swimming perpendicular minimizes time, but the river flow doesn't *help* cross; it only affects the downstream drift.
