First both son will go together, then one will drop there and other will come back. Now father (200 Pounds) will go alone and when he will reach there, the son on that side will bring the boat and will pick the other (100 Pounds) brother and will cross the river.

very very simple....i hope you give those 10 points to me and make my day...well both the sons 100 pounds each take the boat to the other side. one son gets off n the other brings it back to his father. father alone takes it across the river and gets off. son brings back the boat for his brother and they both return back together since their wait would be 200 together.
there if only life could be so easy as ur riddle..we would all spend our days back n forth the river, tht wud be fun.

First the 2 100 pound sons will go.
Then one of them will come back.
Then the 200 pound man will go.
Then he will get down and the other 100 pound son will go.
Then both the 100 pound sons will go back.

Step 1. two sons go to other side.
" 2. one son returns, and hands over to dad.
" 3. Dad goes to other side alone.
" 4. One son earlier left there, returns alone.
" 5. Both sons get into the boat, go over to other side! ( good brain teaser!)
