No. of bottles = 1001

Every 11th bottle is shot. Therefore, we have to divide 1001 by 11.

No. of bottles shot = 1001 11 \frac{1001}{11} =91

JUST SIMPLY DIVIDE 1001 FROM 11

First shot was the eleventh bottle, and second was 22nd, so the tenth was 110th. It occured until the the 90th shot on 990th botttle and the last shot was shot to 990+11=1001th bottle. So, Dead-eye Sharky shot 90+1= 91 bottles.

This problem can also be solved by arithmetic progression... the series is : 11,22,33,44,55................1001

1001 is included in the series as it is a multiple of 11

by applying the formula to find the Nth term of an AP we can find the number of bottles...

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = Last term a = First term d = Difference n =no of bottles

1001=11+(n-1)11 1001=11n n=91
