A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed:

A.
30 birds
B.
60 birds
C.
72 birds
D.
90 birds

• Given that B has missed 27 times, means he attempted 54 shots..
  but A fires 5 shots to B's 3
  so A fires 90 shots to B's 54.
  but A kills only once in 3 shots...
  so
  A has killed 30 Birds

• Let the total no. of shots = x
  shots fired by A = 5x/8;
  shots fired by B= 3x/8;
  
  killed by A= 1/3 of 5x/8= 5x/24;
  missed by B= 1/2 of 3x/8= 3x/16;
  
  A.T.Q :- 3x/16=27;
  or x= 144;
  
  so A has kiled= 5x/24= (5*144)/24= 30.
  so ans :- A.30 birds
