Let it be x minutes to 6 o’clock from now
There are 180 minutes between 3 to 6 o’clock, hence current time is 180-x
Time , 50 minutes ago was 180-x-50 = 130-x
Since 50 minutes ago it was 4 times as many minutes to 6 o’clock
which means 130-x = 4x => 130 = 5x => x = 26 minutes.
Thus, it’s 26 minutes to 6 o’clock from now
