Treating horizontal and vertical motions independently as these are orthogonal.
Time taken to cover #100m# with initial horizontal velocity of #500ms^-1#
#t="Distance"/"Velocity"=100/500=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+1/2g t^2#
#=>d=0xx0.2+1/2 xx9.81xx (0.2)^2~~0.196m#
#=>d=~~0.196m#
