This will bring 140.
The hour hand will be between 3 to 4.
The minute hand will be at 8 because of 40 min.
8-7
7-6
6-5
5-4.
Totally 4*30 =120 degree.
And
Then hour hand will be 40/2 20 degrees.
120 + 20.
=> 140°
The hour hand will be between 3 to 4.
The minute hand will be at 8 because of 40 min.

And
Then hour hand will be 40/2 20 degrees.

Convert 3hours into min.
60 * 3 = 180.
Then add 40min.
40+180 = 220.
Then 1 hour is equal to 30degre.
30 * 3 = 90.
Then subtract 220 - 90= 130 will be the answer.
