It very simple.

1 Hour cover =30 °
So, 60 minutes cover 30 °.
1 minutes cover 30/60 -_1/2 °.
20 minutes cover 20 (1/2) °.
Equal to 10 °.

|60 * 4-11 * 20|/2.
240-220/2,
20/2.

@Anil

|11M-60H|/2 formula. This formula is not sufficient for some problems.

For example; can you find an angle between the minute hand and hour hand of a clock when the time is 3:40?

Solution:

|11*40-60*3|/2.
=440-180/2.
=360/2.
=180°.

Formula :-
M=2/11(t1*30+-°)
°=Angle.

Solution-
20=2/11(4*30+-°)
10*11=|120+-°|,
110-120=°,
10°= ans.

12 hr = 360°.
1 hr = 30°.
1 min = 1/2°.
20 min = 1*20/2 = 10°.

For 4:20.

Basic formula and h and m indicate hours and mint.

(H-m÷5)*30-(m÷2).

SIMPLE FORMULA.

30*H - (11/2)*M
Where, 'H' FOR 'HOUR'; 'M' FOR 'MINUTE'.
Answer will generated in degree angle.

Note:- Suppose, answer of angle is greater than 180 degrees then answer will be reduced or minus (- 360) from original angle for example
1) 3:40 hr.

According to formula,
30*3 - (11/2)*40.
= 90-220
= -130
= 130 degree (and take it +Ve).
