RE: X no of bullets are shared by 3 people equa...

S.P1-S.P2=80 and we know sp=cp((100+profit%)/100) and sp=cp((100-loss%)/100)
so,
x(11/10)- x(9/10)=80
x(2/10)=80
x=800/2
x=400

RE: X no of bullets are shared by 3 people equa...

I think that 18 is right answer.

total value : x

value which three man is fired : 3*4 = 12

initially division value : x/3

remainder : x-12

x-12 = x/3, 3x-36=x

so 18 is answer.
