10.
At 3:40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360°.
| Angle traced by it in | 11 | hrs = |  |
360 | x | 11 |  |
° | = 110°. |
| 3 | 12 | 3 |
Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360°.
| Angle traced by it in 40 min. = | |
360 | x 40 | |
° | = 240°. |
| 60 |
Required angle (240 - 110)° = 130°.

30*3-11/2*20 = 20°.

Here, 30*3 - 11/2*20=20°.

@Vijay.
3hrs 20 minuts
By simple formula
(30*h-11/2)=angle
30*3-11/2*20= 20
.
.
The answer is 20°.
3hrs 20 minuts
By simple formula
(30*h-11/2)=angle
30*3-11/2*20= 20

Can anyone tell me angle when it is 3:20?

I think the answer should be less than 130 degrees.
Because, here minute hand is at "8" and hour hand is not exactly at "3". The hour hand is slightly shifted past "3". So, slightly reduction in degrees. But not exactly 130 degrees.
Am, I right?

How 11/3 hours?

The formula ((11 * min)/2) - 30hr is fine .
But in some cases, why are subtracting the answer from 360?

At 3:40,
Degree rotated by minute hand 6 deg/min = 40 * 6. ie: 240 deg.
Degree rotated by hour hand 0.5 deg/min = 0.5 * 40. ie: 20 deg + 90 deg (angle between hour hand 3 from 12).
Difference = 240 - (20+90) = 130 deg.

Difference = 240 - (20+90) = 130 deg.

Easy method to solve quickly.
40*11/2 = 220.
220-90 = 130.
40*11/2 = 220.
220-90 = 130.
