Detailed Solution

Let speed of boat in still water be 'x'kmph

 let speed of stream be 'y'kmph

Speed of boat up stream =(xy)kmph

Speed of boat down stream =(x+y)kmph

Given ratio of speed of boat up stream and down stream=3:4

xyx+y=34

4(xy)=3(x+y)

4x4y=3x+3y

4x3x=3y+4y

1x=7y

xy=71

 x:y=7:1

Ratio of speed of boat in still water and speed of the stream  =7:1
