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 / bhaviya k r
let 3x be the original no of bullets. so each one will be
having x no of bullets(3x/3).since 4 bullets r being shot
4-x+4-x+4-x=x
so x=6
so answer is 6*3=18

Answer / nofiden noble
Let X be the total no. of bullets
Each of 3 shot 4 bullet...so totally 12 bullets were fired..
so,
X - 12 = X/3
on solving X=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.

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.

Consider a state lottery where you get to choose 8 numbers from 1 to 80, no repetition allowed. The Lottery Commission chooses 11 from those 80 numbers, again no repetition. You win the lottery if at least 7 of your numbers are there in the 11 chosen by the Lottery Commission. What is the probability of winning the lottery?

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
Veeru says to Jay, "Can you figure out how many Eggs I have in my bucket?" He gives 3 clues to Jay: If the number of Eggs I have 1. is a multiple of 5, it is a number between 1 and 19 2. is not a multiple of 8, it is a number between 20 and 29 3. is not a multiple of 10, it is a number between 30 and 39 How many Eggs does Veeru have in his bucket?

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following Division true Y F Y ----------- A Y | N E L L Y | N L Y ---------------- P P L P N H ---------- N L Y N L Y ---------- 0 0 0 Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter N, no other letter can be 3 and all other N in the puzzle must be 3.
how do you plan to achieve these goals?
There are 10 statements written on a piece of paper: 1. At least one of statements 9 and 10 is true. 2. This either is the first true or the first false statement. 3. There are three consecutive statements, which are false. 4. The difference between the numbers of the last true and the first true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 5. The sum of the numbers of the true statements is the number, that is to be found. 6. This is not the last true statement. 7. The number of each true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 8. The number that is to be found is the percentage of true statements. 9. The number of divisors of the number, that is to be found, (apart from 1 and itself) is greater than the sum of the numbers of the true statements. 10. There are no three consecutive true statements. Find the minimal possible number?
