A child in a boat needs to cross the river. The speed of the current in the river s boat in still water. If a child crosses the river in such a way as to minimize the lateral displacement (drift), it takes time T to cross. Find the minimum time required to cross the river in terms of T & k. (A) t= TT+k (B) t=T1-k (C) t=T2-k (D) t=T/2+k
