Let there be x minutes left for 6'o'clock. Between 3 and 6, we have 180 minutes. So we can also say, that the time is now, 180-x minutes from 3.

Now the question says, 50 minutes ago from (180-x) ..........(180-x-50)
it was four times as many minutes past 3 ...........(4x)

180-x-50 = 4x
x = 26 minutes

Let it be x minutes to 6
time is (6 hr – x min)
time before 50 minutes = (6hr – x min – 50 min) = 3 hr + 4x min
3 hr = (4x + x – 50) min
180 min = (5x – 50) min
130 = 5x
x = 26 min
