Detailed Explanation & Answer
12 noon = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes
9 am = 9 x 60 = 540 minutes

Let x = number of minutes before noon

The time now is 12 noon - x = 720 - x minutes
48 minutes ago it was 720 - x - 48
720-x-48 = 540 + 3x
720-48-540 = 4x
⇒x=33 minutes
दोपहर 12 बजे = 12 x 60 = 720 मिनट
सुबह 9 बजे = 9 x 60 = 540 मिनट

माना x = दोपहर से पहले मिनटों की संख्या

अभी समय दोपहर 12 बजे - x = 720 - x मिनट है
48 मिनट पहले यह 720 - x - 48 था
720-x-48 = 540 + 3x
720-48-540 = 4x
⇒x=33 मिनट
