To keep center of mass at rest as to net exrernal force is zero so the boy would move 8-x displacement and boat would move x displacement on the opposite direction so
so,
distance from boat =

10 (8)=(40+10)×y
y=1.6
distance of boy=20-8+1.6
=13.6
First the boy run 8m towards shore but the boat moves back by some distance y.so the displacment will not be 12 but 12+y
