them fired 4 of the bullets and the sum of the remaining
bullets are equal to the initial share each had got.what was
the initial number of bullets?

Answer Posted / sairam

Ans.6
let initial number of bullets be 3x.
therefore each one has share of x bullets.
total number of bullets fired=3*4=12.
given that sum of remaining bullets are equal to the initial
share each had got=x.
therefore we have equation
12+x=3x.
12=2x.
x=6
