A ship with jet propulsion draws water through inlet orifices at right angles to the direction of its motion. The propelling force of the jet is (where a = Area of the jet, Vr = Relative velocity of the jet and ship = V + v, v = Velocity of the ship, and V = Velocity of the jet issuing from the ship)

Explain the answer in detail, please.

The Correct answer is option : A.

Here relative velocity is (V+u) not ( V-u), because they have opposite directions. When a particle with velocity 'u' strike another particle which move with velocity 'V' in the direction of motion (i.e. in the same direction) then relative velocity is (V-u).

But in case of jet propulsion engines, jet and ship have opposite directions so here relative velocity is (V+u).

Mass Flow Rate of water = waVr/g.
Change in jet velocity = Vr-v.
Propulsive Force = Mass flow rate x Change in jet velocity = waVr/g x Vr-v => (Option B).
