• Questions should be : it was four times as many minutes past 3 o clock as it is to six o clock now.
  answer is 26
  reason:
  let current time be X and Y be no. of mins to 6 o clk
  
  from given., X-50 = 3 o clk + 4*Y
  X + Y = 6 o clk
  
  Substituting each of the options we find that 26 satisfies these equations..
  since X - 50 = 3 o clock + 4*26 = 3 o clk + 104 = 4: 44
  therefore X = 50 mins + 4:44 = 5:34
  
  Now 5:34 + 26 mins = 6 o clock :)

• The time between 3′O clock and 6′O clock is 180 minutes.
  
  Let x be the minutes to 6′O clock from Now.
  
  So, the time from 3′O clock to Now(x) is, 180-x minutes.
  50 minutes ago from (180-x) ..........(180-x)-50)=> 130-x
  
  x is 4 times as many minutes past 3′O clock (Minutes past 3′O clock is 130-x)
  
  4x=130-x
  
  x=26 minutes

• let x be the time past 3 o'clock
  therefore fifty min. ago we will have
  180 min.-50min-x min.
  A/c to given statement it is equal to 4 times as many minutes past three O'clock
  therefore it is equal to 4x
  equating both
  5x=130
  x=26 min.
