A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat (in still water) and the stream is:

Answer» Let man's rate upstream be x kmph. Then, his rate downstream = 2x kmph. (Speed in still water) : (Speed of stream) = 2x + x : 2x - x 2 2    = 3x : x 2 2    = 3 : 1.
