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
Feedback Let 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
