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

3:1
1:3
2:4
4:2

• Let speed downstream = y kmph
  Then Speed upstream = 2y kmph
  So ratio will be,
  (2y+y) : (2y-y)
  => 3y : y => 3:1
