Answer / praveen kumar
let 3X be the number of bullets intially they had..
so after division each will have X bullets.
so after shooting 4 bullets .
X-4+X-4+X-4=X;
2X=12;
X=6;
so the initial number of bullets is 18

Answer / simkiarasu
each having x bullets
each of them shoot 4 times
total number of bullets remaining is x
so (3*4)+x=3*x
12=3x-x
12=2x
x=12/2
x=6
Answer:
each divided 6 bullets
Total no of bullets is 18.
Is This Answer Correct ? | 12 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / keyur
Suppose there are 3X bullets. Each one gets X bullets..
After shot of 4 bullets. remaining bullets X - 4
(X-4)+(X-4)+(X-4)=X
so 3X-12=X
so X=6
So original bullets are 18 bullets...(3*6=18)

Answer / ashutosh
Suppose intially they had -> B bullets
After division
each had = B/3 bullets
After firing 4 bullets
each left with = (B/3 - 4)bullets
Total=3(B/3 - 4)bullets
3(B/3 - 4)= B/3 bullets
Therefore
Total Bullets =18.

Given an N × N array of positive and negative integers, find the sub-rectangle with the largest sum. The sum of a rectangle is the sum of all the elements in that rectangle. In this problem the sub-rectangle with the largest sum is referred to as the maximal sub-rectangle. A sub-rectangle is any contiguous sub-array of size 1 × 1 or greater located within the whole array. Input Format: First line contains the size of matrix. Followed by n lines and each line contain n integers separated by space. Output format: Single integer which represents maximum sum of rectangle. Sample Input: 4 0 -2 -7 0 9 2 -6 2 -4 1 -4 1 -1 8 0 -2 Sample Output: 15
