A hunter aims directly at a target on the same level of the gun 65 m away. By how much will the bullet miss the target and what angle should the bullet be shot at?

There is not enough information here to solve. This is a 2-D system, so you will need to know at least 2 parameters to solve it. You know one: the horizontal distance. If you know how fast the bullet travels as it leaves the barrel, then the system can be solved.
