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.

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)

Friends
The question asks you to find out the initial division. Answer should not be about the total number of bullets so please note that the answer is 6.

It's simply
[division value remaining]
3people( x) (3X4) + x
3 12 + x <----- put 3
15bullets in total

Answer is 15 Bullets.

so it was
15 total bullets -> 1person (4bullets used remainng 1)
-> 1peron (4bullets used remainng 1)
-> 1person (4bullets used remainng 1)
