Please dont waste my time with those 'answer is in the file" The force exerted by water and air on the skier is 50 Newtons (N) to the left. The force exerted by the boat on the skier is 40 Newtons (N) to the right. How will the unbalanced forces change the motion of the skier

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
