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
Explanation:

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
