Let the present time be x, the time after one hour is (x+1) and the time after two hours is (x+2), the time at mid night is 12   The time from one hour later to midnight is 12-(x+1)   The time from two hours later to midnight is 12-(x+2)   Given, the time from one hour later is twice of the time from two hours later,   12-(x+1) is twice of 12-(x+2)   12-x-1 = 24-2x-4   x=9   The present time is 9.00 pm   The time after one hour is 10.00 pm( two hours to 12) and the time after two hours is 11.00 pm( one hour to midnight)   The answer is 9.00 pm   ANSWER:9.00 pm
