If it were two hours later, it would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later. What time is it now?

Let x be our current time and a whole day is 24 hours.

If it were two hours later (x + 2), it would be half (½) as long until midnight (24) as it would be if it were an hour later (x + 1).

So,
24 - (x + 2) = ½(24 - (x + 1))
24 - x - 2 = ½ (24 - x - 1)
48 - 2x - 4 = 24 - x - 1
48 - 24 - 4 + 1 = -x + 2x
21 = x

So, 21:00hrs is same as 21 - 12 = 9pm

Answer: 9pm

The SSE was the first modern stock exchange to open in China, with trading commencing in 1990. It has now grown to become the largest stock exchange in Asia and the third-largest in the world by market capitalization, which stood at RMB 50.6 trillion (US$7.8 trillion) as of September 2021. Stocks (both A-shares and B-shares), bonds, funds, and derivatives are traded on the exchange. The SEE has two trading boards, the Main Board and the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the latter more commonly known as the STAR Market. The Main Board mainly hosts large, well-established Chinese companies and lists both A-shares and B-shares.

Tata Power whose core business is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity has made no money to investors in the last one decade. That is a big blunder considering it is one of the largest power generation companies in the country. One of the reasons is the company's huge debt levels which stood at ₹43,559 crore at the end of March 2021 compared to the company’s market capitalisation of ₹44,447 crore.
