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)
