Two boys

P

and

Q

are playing on a river bank.

P

plans to swim across the river directly and come back.

Q

plans to swim downstream by a length equal to the width of the river and then come back. Both of them bet each other, claiming that the boy succeeding in less time will win. Assuming the swimming rate of both

P

and

Q

to the same, it can be concluded that

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

P

wins

Option A is correct because P wins. The time taken by P is less than the time taken by Q, as the effect of the river's current is more significant for Q's downstream and upstream swim.
