• considering 24 hrs from 0000 hrs, if time is x hrs now, then
  x+x/5 = 24
  6x/5=24
  x= 20 hrs
  
  so time is 2000 hrs.

• let x be the hours remaining,
  then 24-x is the hours passed.
  given x=1/5(24-x)
  5x-x=24
  x=6
  terefore 6 hours is remaining in the day

• If x = Passed hours,
  Then, Hours remaining = (1/5)x
  Passed hours + Remaining hours = Hours per day.
  i.e. x + (1/5)x = Hours per day.
  Therefore x = (5/6) * Hours_Per_Day
  i.e. Time is (5/6) * Hours Per Day.
