If the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel D km each upstream and X2 to travel downstream is 4 hours and the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel downstream and X2 to travel upstream the same distance D km each is 12 hours. Time taken by X2 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t1 hours. Similarly, the time taken by X1 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t2 hours. What is the value of (t1 - t2)?

Garima starts walking towards the south from point R. He walks for 5m to reach Point S then turns right and walks for 2m to reach point T from there he turns left and walks for 3m to reach Point Z. He then turns right from point Z and walks for 6m to reach point Y and then turns right and walks for 3m to reach point X. He then turns right from point X and walks for 4m to reach point W and then turns left and walks for 5m to reach point V and then turns left and walks for 4m till point U and stops. What is the shortest distance between point V and point R?
