No ship will not make this distance

Explanation:

We have given that ship[ island is 1000 km south of where the ship starts

So distance = 1000 km

Velocity is given as v = 30 km/hr

Time t = 30 hour

We know that distance = velocity * time = 30*30 = 900 km

As the given distance is 1000 and after calculation distance is 900 so the ship will not make this distance
