      Solution

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

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

      Here, minutes= 40, Hours= 3

      Angle= (11 ˣ 40 - 60 ˣ 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°.
