A boat can travel 15 km downstream in 18 min. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 4 : 1 . How much time will the boat take to cover 10 km upstream ?

The speed of a boat in still water is 12 km/h. If the boat covers a distance of 38 km upstream in 4 hours, then the speed of the stream (in km/h) is:

Speed of the stream is 3 km/hr and the upstream speed is 7 km/hr. Find the time taken by boat to cover 91 km downstream.
