B has an accuracy of 50%
so in order to miss 27 times he would have fired 54 shots (27*2)

For every 3 shots fired by three A will fire 5 shots

So (54/3*5)= 90 shots fired by A

A has an accuracy of 1/3

So A has killed (90*1/3)

30 Birds: Answer = 30 Birds

B: 1 miss in 2 shots so, 27 misses in 54 shots,
while B shots 3, A shots 5 so, in 54 shots of B, A hits 5/3*54 = 90.
A: 3 shots 1 kills so, 90 shots(90*1/3) = 30 kills.
