This is based on the conservation of momentum, according to this the momentum of bullet should be equals to momentum of gun.
Pbullet = Pgun
P= mv
Mass of bullet is 20 gm= 0.02 kg , velocity= 400m/sec
Mass of gun = 8kg, and let velocity is V
So, 0.02×400 = 8×V
So, V= 1 m/sec
This is the recoil velocity of gun

Answer:
Let velocity of gun is v.
There is no external force acting, so linear momentum will conserve.
Before the firing, Linear Momentum =0
After the firing, Linear momentum =0.04×400+10×v
⇒0.04×400+10×v=0 ⇒v=−1.6m/s
Hence, 1.6m/s opposite to the direction of the bullet.
