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.

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
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)
