B is on a boat which is floating with the stream and C is on a boat which is anchored at X. Both B and C release paper boats at intervals of 5 seconds, beginning at t = 0 seconds. A start from a point Y, downstream of X, at t = 0 seconds and starts collecting all the paper boats he encounters as he rows upstream towards X.
