Let ‘x’ be the number of perons in the group and let ‘y’ be
amount per head which they have to pay.
Then xy = 2400.
or y = 2400/x
Since two friends have forget the purse, x-2 persons should
share the total amount(2400).
If they share, they have to make an extra contribution of
Rs 100 to pay up the bill
That is x-2 persons should pay y+100 each
or (x-2)(y+100) = 2400
or y+100 = 2400/(x-2)
or y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Therefore we have got two equations namely,
y= 2400/x and y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Comparing these two, we get
2400/x = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Solving this we get
x^2 – 2x -48 = 0
or (x-8) (x+6) = 0
or x = 8 or x = -6
Since ‘x’ denote the number of persons, it should be
positive.
So, x = 8.

Lets call the 5 litre jug as jug A and 3 litre jug as jug B. Now, follow the steps:
Fill jug A completely. Now it contains 5 litres.
Slowly pour the water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.
Throw away the water in jug B so that it is completely empty. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B is empty.
Transfer the water from jug A to jug B. Now, jug A is empty and jug B contains 2 litres.
Fill jug A completely. Now, jug A contains 5 litres and jug B contains 2 litres.
Transfer water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 4 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.
Now you have 4 litres of water in jug A.

Explanation:
Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.
So they got X bullets each after division.
All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X – 4)
bullets each.
But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total
number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each
had after division i.e. X
Therefore, the equation is
3 * (X – 4) = X
3 * X – 12 = X
2 * X = 12
X = 6
Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18
Answer is 400.(14^2=196, 16^2=256, 18^2=324, 20^2=400.)
