Treating horizontal and vertical motions independently as these are orthogonal.
Time taken to cover 100m with initial horizontal velocity of 500ms1
t=DistanceVelocity=100500=0.2s

The bullet falls freely under gravity in vertical direction with initial velocity of 0. Vertical defection in vertical in 0.2s is found using the kinematic equation
d=ut+12gt2
d=0×0.2+12×9.81×(0.2)20.196m
d=0.196m
