Ratio of speeds of A and B is a:b: then ratio of the time taken by them to cover the same distance

Total distance between A and B is d kms . If the distance travelled along the stream is three time of the total distance and the distance travelled against the stream is two times of the total distance . If the time taken to cover the distance along the stream is 10% less then the time taken to cover the distance against the stream .if a person cover a distance of 21 km in 1 hr 24 min along the stream , then find the rate of current ?

The speed of A for walking two times is equal to the speed of B for walking three times. To cover a distance, A takes 42 minutes less than B to cover the same distance. What is the time ( in minutes ) taken by B to cover the same distance ? A की दो बार चलने की गति B के तीन बार चलने की गति के बराबर है | किसी दूरी को तय करने में A को B की तुलना में समान दूरी तय करने में 42 मिनट कम समय लगता है | B को समान दूरी तय करने में कितना समय (मिनटों में) लगता है ?
