Let x be time now

according to condition

(x-0) 9*(12-x)

time now is 10.8 ie 10+.8*60

10:48 AM or 72 minutes before NOON

Let x be no. of minutes to noon.

then 9x 12*60-x;

x 72

so time is now 72 min to 12 noon that is 10:48am

Let the time now be HH:MM

Time lapse between midnight to noon is 12 hours 12*60 minutes 720 minutes.

Data: Let the number of minutes from midnight to now be MNmin. And let the number of minutes from now to noon be Nmin

So that MNmin + Nmin 720 minutes

But MNmin 9 Nmin

There fore 10Nmin 720 minutes > Nmin 72 minutes.

That means the current time is 72 minutes to 12:00 pm. > Required current HH:MM is 10:48 AM.

x + 9x 720

Hence x 72

So 72 minutes has been left to 12:00 Noon

So current time is 10:48AM
