For shortest possible time, he should attempt to swim in perpendicular (to the length of river) direction. And he will be swayed by the flow of river. 5 + n^2 = 3^2 ... yielding n = 2 m/s

You need to find out reason behind his lack of interest rather than punishing him. Find a good teacher who can enlighten that interest and at the same time work on weak areas of the student. You can contact us for any further help.

If log 27 = 1.431, then the value of log 9 is: A. 0.934 B. 0.945 C. 0.954 D. 0.958
First,rewrite log 27 as 3log3 So,log3 would come out to be 0.477 Then,write log27 as log9+log3 So,log 9= log27-log3 =1.431-0.477 =0.954
