A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of 20 m/min. A man on the south bank of the river, capable of swimming at 10 m/min in still water, wants to swim across the river without any drift. He should swim in a direction:
- due north
- 30° east of north
- 30° west of north
- zero drift is not possible
