Two boats start together and race across a 68-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 68 km/h and returns at 68 km/h. Boat B goes across at 34 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 102 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. a. Which boat wins and by how much?
b. What is the average velocity of the winning boat?

a

The  winning boat is  boat A

b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  width of the lake is  

   The  speed of boat A to and fro  is  

   The speed of boat B going is  

    The speed of boat B coming back is  

Generally the time taken by boat A is mathematically represented as

Generally the time taken by boat B is mathematically represented as

The  winning boat is  boat A

The  average velocity is mathematically represented as  

Here d is the total displacement of the winning boat which is  0 m

So

i think the answer is a and b

i wish you luck
