string minute2 = "20";

string minute3 = "27";

string minute4 = "02";

TimeSpan first = TimeSpan.Parse(minute);

TimeSpan second = TimeSpan.Parse(minute2);

TimeSpan Third = TimeSpan.Parse(minute3);

TimeSpan fourth = TimeSpan.Parse(minute4);

TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

if (now == first|| now == second || now == Third || now == fourth)

TimeSpan Third = TimeSpan.Parse(minute3);
TimeSpan fourth = TimeSpan.Parse(minute4);

Try
1)
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
       string minute = "15";
string minute2 = "20";
string minute3 = "27";
string minute4 = "02";
TimeSpan first = TimeSpan.Parse(minute);
TimeSpan second = TimeSpan.Parse(minute2);
TimeSpan Third = TimeSpan.Parse(minute3);
TimeSpan fourth = TimeSpan.Parse(minute4);
TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
Console.WriteLine(first);
Console.WriteLine(now);
var nowMin = DateTime.Now.Minute;
if (now != first || now != second || now != Third || now != fourth)
{
Console.WriteLine("No Matched");
}
else
{
  Console.WriteLine("Matched");
}
    }

1. TimeSpan start = new TimeSpan(10, 0, 0); //10 o'clock
2. TimeSpan end = new TimeSpan(12, 0, 0); //12 o'clock
3. TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
5. if ((now > start) && (now < end))
6. {
7. //match found
8. }
