There is a road beside a river. Two friends started from a place $A,$ moved to a temple situated at another place $B$ and then returned to $A$ again. One of them moves on a cycle at a speed of $12\, km/hr,$ while the other sails on a boat at a speed of $10\, km/hr.$ If the river flows at the speed of $4\, km/hr,$ which of the two friends will return to place $A$ first?

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:
