Question

A river is flowing with the speed of 4 m/s. A swimmer wants to reach just opposite point on the other bank. If speed of the swimmer in still water is 3 m/s, then the swimmer should swim at angle- (1) 143^° with the direction of nver flow (2) 127^° with the direction of river flow (3) 30^° with normal of the bank (4) Swimmer cannot reach just opposite point on the other bank while swimming
