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°.

@Dheeraj.
For angle between 11:20.
30*11-11/2*20=220 degree or (360-220=140degree for obtuse angle).
For angle between 11:20.
30*11-11/2*20=220 degree or (360-220=140degree for obtuse angle).

Formula: (+)(-)A = 30(H)-5.5(min).
= 30*3-5.5*40.
= 90-220.
= 130 degree answer.
= 30*3-5.5*40.
= 90-220.
= 130 degree answer.

Answer should be 140.
Angle between 3 & 40 is 160 degree + 40/2 = 140 degree.
Angle between 3 & 40 is 160 degree + 40/2 = 140 degree.

Convert the whole time in hour.
3 hour+40 min=3h+(40/60) h=22/6=11/3 hour.
3 hour+40 min=3h+(40/60) h=22/6=11/3 hour.

I don't understand Angle traced by it in 11 hrs = 360x11° = 110°.

For hour hand.
Convert min into hr keep 3 without change 3+(40/60)=11/3.
Convert min into hr keep 3 without change 3+(40/60)=11/3.

°=11/2 min.-30H.
So,11*40/2-30*3,
°= 220-90,
= 130(answer).
So,11*40/2-30*3,
°= 220-90,
= 130(answer).

3 hour is 30*3=90 and minute 40*5.5,
=220 and different is 220-90=130.
=220 and different is 220-90=130.

While considering 3.40 we take 40 mins = 40/60 = 2/3.
So 3*2/3 = 11/3.
So 3*2/3 = 11/3.

The Angle between hour and minute hand is |(X*30) - ((Y*11)/2)|.
