Two swimmers start swimming perpendicular to river flow with different constant speeds at the same time. After reaching the opposite bank they have to walk back to reach the point exactly opposite to the starting point at the same time. Assume constant walking speed for both the swimmers.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Swimmer with greater speed in water will have to walk slowly

Option A is correct. The swimmer with the greater speed in water covers the river width faster but drifts more, requiring slower walking to compensate.
