the only time which satisfies the question is 4pm therefore from midnight to 4pm is 16hrs and from 4pm to midnight it is 8hrs........ and therefore 16/4 8/2 and therefore answer is 4pm(present time)

hi

this is Shobha

i hav a solution for your question

its like this.......

Consider the present time as 'x'

so 1/4 (x) + 1/2 (24-x) x ;

By solving this equation you wil get x as 9:36 am.

Infrom me back if you dont agree with this answer
