Question 1:
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 stream is
A.3:1
FeedbackLet speed downstream = x kmph Then Speed upstream = 2x kmph So ratio will be,(2x+x)/2 : (2x-x)/2 3x/2 : x/2 => 3:1
B.1:3
C.2:4
D.4:2
