The man swims perpendicular to flow of river.
Speed of man = 5 kmph w.r.t. Water.
II II. water = 2 kmph
The vector component of downstream --------> added to both boatman and swimmer. While finding relative velocity, velocity of swimmer and boatman can be nullified.
Relative velocity of swimmer wrt boatman.
= velocity of swimmer - V of boatman (vector subtraction)
Angle between 2 vectors -----------> 90 degree
Magnitude ----------> √ 5 sq. + 12 sq. = √ 169 = 13 kmph
Direction = tan^ -1 (12/5) to flow of water.
