A river is flowing from west to east direction with speed of \(9 ~\text{kmh}^{-1}.\) If a boat capable of moving at a maximum speed of \(27 ~\text{kmh}^{-1} \) in still water, crosses the river in half a minute, while moving with maximum speed at an angle of \(150^\circ\) to direction of river flow, then the width of the river is:
1. \(300 ~\text m\)
2. \(75 ~\text m\)
3. \(112.5 ~\text m\)
4. \(112.5\sqrt3 ~\text m \)

The maximum speed of a boat in still water is \(27~\text{km/h.} \) Now this boat is moving downstream in a river flowing at \(9~\text{km/h.} \) A man in the boat throws a ball vertically upwards with speed of \(10~\text{m/s} \). Range of the ball as observed by an observer at rest on the river bank, is: (in m) Take \(g=10~ \text{m/s}^2 \))
