Check this out.. Its very simple.

1. Let the time past 3 be x min.

2. 4 times how many minutes is it to 6'o clock will be 4x.

3. Time between 3 and 6 is 180 min.

4. This 180 min includes x, 4x and 50.

5. So x+4X+50 = 180.

6. This gives x = 26 min.

7. Current time is 3:26 + 50 min = 4:16.

(Cross Check with the Question now.. Differenc between current time and 6 is 104 min, which is 4 times as many minutes past 3'o clock)
