• Time is 2:20. Position of the hands: Hour hand at 2 (nearly).
  Minute hand at 4
  Angle between 2 and 4 is 60 degrees [(360/12) * (4-2)]
  Angle made by the hour hand in 20 minutes is 10 degrees, since it turns through ½ degrees in a minute.
  Therefore, angle between the hands is 60 degrees - 10 degrees = 50 degrees
