1hrs=30°
So 5 hrs 10min =(5+1/6)*30°. i.e
1hrs = 60min
1min =1/6
10min = 10/60 = 1/6
= (31/6)*30.
= 155°.

Here angle In 12h is = 360 degree
angle in 10 PAST 5 means 5:10

h=5, m=10

Now

|30h-11/2m|= degree
|30*5-11/2*10| = 95 degree

Now degree=360-95=155 degree. Got it friends?

@navaneetha

Given : our hour hand started at noon i.e. 12 o'clock
and 10 minutes past 5 i.e. 5 hour 10 minutes
we find angle between 12 and 5.10 o'clock
firstly we convert 5hour 10min into minitus 5*60+10=310min
and 310min convert into hour 310/60=31/6

In 12h = 360
So in 31/6 h= (360/12)(31/6)=155 degree.

Hr hand move 10 min in 5 hrs so afternoon means start from 12 then after 5 hrs show 5 o'clock but 10 min means 10/2=5° so 12 to 5 150°+5°=155°.

Firstly, convert 5hrin minutes.
5*60=300
Add 10 min
=310min.

Now convert 310min in hr.

310min=310/60=31/6hr.
1 hr=(360/12)°.
31/6hr=(360/12)*31/6=155°.

5:10 = 5+(10/60) = 5+1/6 = 31/6 hrs.

1 hr = 30 degrees,

31/6 hrs = 31/6 * 30 = 155 degrees.

For hour hand (HH), we have a notation. Right?

12pm to 5pm = 5hrs.
1hr = 30°.

Therefore, 5 * 30 = 150°.
Tilting time = 10min.
1 min = 1/2°.

Therefore, 10/2 = 5°.

Ans = 150° + 5° = 155°.

1 hr = 30° and 1 min = (1/2)°,

So , 5 hrs = 150 min and 10 min = 5°,

Thus 150 + 5 = 155°.

Thanks for your explanation @Shreya Raut.
