To get all three across the river using the boat, John can first row across alone, leaving the wife and daughter on the initial side. He then returns alone, picks up his daughter (who weighs 40 kilos), and rows across again. After leaving his daughter on the other side, he returns alone once more and finally takes his wife across. This way, all three safely cross the river without exceeding the boat's weight limit.
