The vectors \mathbf{i} and \mathbf{j} represent 1\text{ km/h} east and north respectively. A man sails a boat on a lake such that the velocity is -\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} when there is no current. If there is a current of 3\mathbf{i}, then the resultant velocity, \mathbf{v}, is given by
- (A)
2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j}\text{ km/h} - (B)
4\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j}\text{ km/h} - (C)
-4\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j}\text{ km/h} - (D)
-4\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j}\text{ km/h}
