Answer:
11.23%
Explanation:
Lets take
Speed of man in still water =u= 1.73 m/s
Speed of flow of water = v=0.52 m/s
When swims in downward direction then speed of man = u + v
When swims in upward direction then speed of man = u - v
Lets time taken by man when he swims in downward direction is and when he swims in downward direction is
Lets distance is d and it will be remain constant in both the case
Time taken in still water
2 d= t x 1.73
t=1.15 x d sec
total time in current = 0.82 +0.44 d=1.26 d sec
So the percentage time
Percentage time =11.32%
So it will take 11.32% more time as compare to still current.
