In the previous question separate degree was calculated for minute hand. Then why in this question separate degree are not calculated for minute hand?

I'm confused.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.

Formula = (Section-Difference) multiply by 30 +or- minute/2.
According to Formula time = 5:10.
(10-5) multiply 30+10/2.
= 5*30+5 = 150+5.
155 is answer.

5 hrs 10 min's (given) > 1 hr = 30 degrees > 5 hrs = 150 degrees.
60 min = 30 degrees > 1 min = 0.5 degrees > 10 min = 5 degrees 5 hrs 10 min = 150+5 = 155.
60 min = 30 degrees > 1 min = 0.5 degrees > 10 min = 5 degrees 5 hrs 10 min = 150+5 = 155.

At n'o clock the angle of hour hand from vertical is 30 n; speed of hour hand is 5 degree per minute; speed of minute hand is 6 dpm.
At 5.10 angle of hour hand from vertical 5*30+0.5*10 = 155 degree.
Angle of minute hand from vertical 6*10 = 60;
Angle between hour and minute hand = 155-60 = 96.
Reflex angle 360-96 = 264.
At 5.10 angle of hour hand from vertical 5*30+0.5*10 = 155 degree.
Angle of minute hand from vertical 6*10 = 60;
Angle between hour and minute hand = 155-60 = 96.
Reflex angle 360-96 = 264.

Convert the hours into mins so, 12 * 60=720 mins = 360d.
5 * 60+10min = 310 mins =?.
720/60hrs = 12 = 360.
310/60hr = 31/6 = ?
360/12*31/6 = 155.
5 * 60+10min = 310 mins =?.
720/60hrs = 12 = 360.
310/60hr = 31/6 = ?
360/12*31/6 = 155.

In 1 min hour hand = 1/2 degree /min.
For 10 min = 10*(1/2) = 5 degree.
In 1 hr hour hand takes 30 degree.
For 5 hr = 5*30 = 150.
And total angle traveled by hr hand = 150+5 = 155 degree.
For 10 min = 10*(1/2) = 5 degree.
In 1 hr hour hand takes 30 degree.
For 5 hr = 5*30 = 150.
And total angle traveled by hr hand = 150+5 = 155 degree.
