RE: X no of bullets are shared by 3 people equally . and each fired 4 bullets then the sum of remaining bullets is equal to initially division value |
My answer is 6
Lets suppose that Total number of bullets = 3X
Bullets given to each men = x
Bullets fired = x - 4
Total remaining bullets = 3 ( x - 4 )
According to question, we know that total remaining bullets is equal to bullets given to each men at start; SO
3 ( x - 4 ) = X
3X - 12 = X
3X - X = 12
2X = 12
X = 6 (Answer) |
