Hi

They ll reach simultaneously, since They retrace their path with the same relative velocity and also , since the distance travelled by the slower boat is less than the distance travelled by fastr boat, so even if they have diff . vel , this accounts fr them being at the ring at the same time.

Let slow boat has rel vel v1 and faster has v2 . then resp distance are v1t and v2t in tike t. Hence the same time they ll take to come back at same vel to the same place.
