A

If he crosses the river in maximum time $x = \frac{{du}}{v}$

B

$x$ can not be less than $\frac{{du}}{v}$

C

For $x$ to be minimum he has to swim in a direction making an angle of $\frac{\pi }{2} + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{v}{u}} \right)$ with the direction of the flow of water

D

(a) and (c) both
