      1. 13.6 m
      2. 15 m
      3. 12 m
      4. 9.6 m

      The correct answer is: 13.6 m


        text  Distance of  end text straight c. straight m text  of the boat from the shore  end text equals left parenthesis 20 minus x right parenthesis straight m
text  Distance of the boy from the shore  end text equals 20 straight m
text  Distance of  end text straight c. straight m text  of boat and boy system from the shor  end text straight e equals fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight x subscript 1 plus straight m subscript 2 straight x subscript 2 over denominator straight m subscript 1 plus straight m subscript 2 end fraction
not stretchy rightwards double arrow straight x subscript cm equals fraction numerator 10 cross times 20 plus 40 left parenthesis 20 minus straight x right parenthesis over denominator 50 end fraction straight m
text  After the boy moved  end text 8 straight m text  towards the shore,  end text straight x subscript cm superscript straight prime equals fraction numerator 10 cross times straight d plus 40 left parenthesis straight d minus straight x plus 8 right parenthesis over denominator 50 end fraction
text  where  end text to the power of straight prime straight d to the power of straight prime text  is his new distance from the shore  end text
text  Here  end text straight x subscript om equals straight x subscript cm text  ' as no external force is acting  end text
text  So,  end text 10 cross times 20 plus 40 left parenthesis 20 minus straight x right parenthesis equals 10 cross times straight d plus 40 left parenthesis straight d minus straight x plus 8 right parenthesis
not stretchy rightwards double arrow 200 plus 800 minus 40 straight x equals 10 straight d plus 40 straight d minus 40 straight x plus 320 not stretchy rightwards double arrow straight d equals 680 over 50 equals 13 times 6 straight m
