Fifty minutes ago it was four times as many minutes past 3'o clock, how many minutes is it to six' o clock??

• 1) Let T be the Current time in minutes
  2) Time 50 mns before will be T-50 minutes
  3) 50 mins before Time Past 3'o Clock will be T-50-180 (as 3'o clock is equal to 180 mins)
  4) From Question its says Time before 50 mins is 4 Times time past 3'o Clock
  i.e T-50 = 4(T-50-180)
  i.e T-50=4(T-230)
  i.e T-50=4T-920
  i.e 3T=870
  i.e T=290 minutes
  This mean Current Time is 4Hr 50 mins
  Hence its 70 mins to 6'o Clock
  
  Ans is 70 mins
