At 3:40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:
120°
125°
130°
135°
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°.

@Vijay.

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

Akhil Goud said:   8 years ago
Here, 30*3 - 11/2*20=20°.

Akhil Goud said:   8 years ago
30*3-11/2*20 = 20°.

3:20.

Formula is((11/2)*M-30(H)).

Here H=3 and M=20.then substitute in formula.

((11/2)*20-30(3)).
((110-90))=20.

The angle in between an hour and minute is 20 degree.

@Dheeraj.

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

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

130° is right answer. I agree.

MOTIUR RAHMAN said:   7 years ago
°=11/2 min.-30H.
So,11*40/2-30*3,
°= 220-90,
= 130(answer).

11/2*40 = 220.
30*3 = 90.
220-90 = 130.

(11*minute-60*hour)/2
= (11*40-60*3)/2.
= 130.
