A swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of \(5~\text{m/s}.\) Let \(t_1~\text{and}~t_2,\)​ be the times taken to cross a river of width \(d\) by the shortest-time path and by the shortest path, respectively. If the speed of the river current increases, the times to cross the river along the shortest-time path and shortest path become \(t'_1~\text{and}~t'_2,\) respectively. Which of the following statements is correct?
1. \(t_1<t'_1,~~ t_2< t'_2\)
2. \(t_1>t'_1,~~ t_2> t'_2\)
3. \(t_1=t'_1,~~ t_2< t'_2\)

4. \(t_1=t'_1,~~ t_2> t'_2\)
