On a river,$Q$ is the midpoint between two points $P$ and $R$ on the same bank. $A$ boat can travel from $P$ to $Q$ and back in $12$ hours,and from $P$ to $R$ in $16$ hours $40$ minutes. How long would it take to travel from $R$ to $P$? (in hours)

The speed of a boat in still water is $10\, km/hr$. If it can travel $26\, km$ downstream and $14\, km$ upstream in the same time,the speed of the stream is.....$km/hr$.

Twice the speed downstream is equal to thrice the speed upstream. The ratio of the speed in still water to the speed of the current is:
