Fifty minutes ago if it was four times as many minutes past three o'clock, how many minutes is ..

Answer / Saurabh Pratap Singh

Let's represent the time as 't'. 50 minutes ago it was four times as many minutes past three o'clock, so t - 50 = 4*(3 + t). Solving for t gives t = 75. So it's 75 minutes to six o'clock.
