    Solution

    Formula to find the angle between hour hand and minute hand is:

    Angle= | (11 ╦г minutes - 60 ╦г hours) /2 |

    Here, minutes= 40, Hours= 3

    Angle= (11 ╦г 40 - 60 ╦г 3) /2 ┬░

    Angle= (440 - 180) /2 ┬░ = 260/2┬░ = 130┬░

    So, for the angle between hour hand and minute hand, when seen in the clockwise direction of hour hand is 130┬░.
