$Assertion$ : The magnitude of velocity of two boats relative to the river is the same. Both boats start simultaneously from the same point on one bank and may reach the opposite bank simultaneously while moving along different paths.
$Reason$ : For boats to cross the river in the same time,the component of their velocity relative to the river in the direction normal to the flow should be the same.

Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \,km/h$ from $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus travelling in the direction of his motion goes past him every $18 \,min$ and every $6 \,min$ he notices a bus travelling in the opposite direction go past him. Assuming that the buses travel with a constant speed,find $T$ and the constant speed of the buses.

When is the relative velocity of two cars moving with unequal velocities less than the individual velocity of either car?

The velocities of $A$ and $B$ are $\vec{v}_A = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}$ and $\vec{v}_B = 3 \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j}$. The velocity of $B$ as observed by $A$ is:

$A$ swimmer can swim in still water with $5 \,m/s$. If a river is flowing with $4 \,m/s$, then find the time to cross the river of width $300 \,m$ if he has to reach the exactly opposite point.
