Answer 1

step 1) Take the cop and burglar first. only the cop returns.

step2) take cop and one son. drop the son and bring back both the burglar and cop.

step 3) take the dad and son. leave the son there. only the dad returns.

step 4) take mom and dad. drop the dad. only mom returns.

step 5) take cop, burglar. drop both of them. now the dad returns.

step 6) take mom, dad. drop the dad. mom returns.

step 7) take mom, girl. drop them both. now the cop and burglar return.

step 8) take cop and girl. drop the girl. cop returns.

step 9) take the left over burglar with the cop and woohooo!!!

Answer 2

Start with the cop and burglar.  Put the cop back on the raft and now take the boy over.  Put both the cop and Burglar on the raft.  Now put the dad and other son on the raft.  Send Dad back and put him and the mom on the raft.  Send Mom back on the raft and now put the cop and burglar back on the raft.  Then have Dad go on the raft.

you should now have the mom, dad and 2 girls on one side and the cop, burglar and 2 boys on the other side.

Put mom and Dad on the raft. Drop Dad off and send Mom back.  Have Mom take the girl back thus leaving just one girl on the other side.  

Now take the cop and burglar and put them on the raft you should be able to figure out the rest

If not have the cop take the girl on the raft, then have the cop return for the burglar.  

Hope that helps
