Explanation:

speed of the boat = 6 km/hr
Speed downstream = (6+2) = 8 km/hr
Speed upstream = (6-2) = 4 km/hr
Distance travelled downstream = Distance travelled upstream = 32 km
Total time taken = Time taken downstream + Time taken upstream
=32/8 + 32/4 = 32/8 + 64/8 = 96/8 = 12 hr

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
