Answer 8

Hmm, I guess the boat can only carry 100lbs each time. So.... A=50, B=50, C=100. A and B gets on from position 1 to position 2. One boy gets off, one boy goes back. The boy who went back gets off, C gets on to the other side. C gets off, the first boy get on to go back. Then both boys will meet C on the other side. Does this make sense? If not, email me. Goodluck!
