    Solution

    Formula to find the angle between hour hand and minute hand is:
    Angle= | (11 X minutes - 60 X hours)/2 | Here, minutes = 57, Hours = 7
    Angle= | (11 X 57 - 60 X 7)/2 |
    Angle= | (627 - 420)/2 | = | 207/2 | = 103.5°
    So, the angle formed between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 7:57 pm, when taken in clockwise direction from the hour hand is 103.5°.
