Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 3:40 am?

Options:

120°

130°

140°

160°

Correct Answer:

130°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

Angle = ( 60 H - 11 M ) ÷ 2 , Where H = Hours, M = Minutes

        = ( 60 × 3 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

        = ( 180 - 440 ) ÷ 2

        = 260 ÷ 2 = 130°

So, smaller angle = 130°
