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:

Correct Answer: 30 birds

Explanation:

Let the total number of shots be x . Then,


Shots fired by A = 5 x
8



Shots fired by B = 3 x
8



Killing shots by A = 1 of 5 x = 5 x
3 8 24



Shots missed by B = 1 of 3 x = 3 x
2 8 16



3x = 27 or x = 27 x 16 = 144.
16 3



Birds killed by A = 5x = 5 x 144 = 30.
24 24
