Three members are hunting in a forest. While crossing stream cartridges of two of them get wetted up. Then the third person divides his cartridges equally. After 4 shots of each person, total cartridges remaining are equal to what each had initially after sharing. How many total cartridges they initially they shared?

• ans:18 after sharing each had x
  so after shooting total=3(x-4)
  given 3(x-4)=x
  x=6
  so total 18

• Y
  
  Y/3 Y/3 Y/3
  
  Y/3-4 Y/3-4 Y/3-4
  
  3(Y/3-4) =Y/3
  
  Y=18

• X Y Z
  after sharing Z/3 Z/3 Z/3
  AFTER 4 SHOTS Z/3-4 Z/3-4 Z/3-4
  
  3(Z/3-4)=Z/3
  Z/3-4=Z/9
  Z/3-Z/9=4
  (3Z-Z)/9=4
  2Z=36 Z=18ANS.

• Let each = x
  3x-12=x
  x=6
  so the ans=18

• Total cartridges they shared = 18
  Let us assume, third person has 'x' cartridges. He divides his cartridges equally.
  Therefore now each has 'x/3' no. of cartridges.
  After 4 shots of each person means : 'x/3 - 4' no. of cartridges is remaining to each of the persons.
  Next it is said total cartridges remaining are equal to what each had initially after sharing.
  Hence, (x/3-4)+(x/3-4)+(x/3-4) = x/3
  x=18
