What is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the clock shows 4 hours 40 minutes?

  1. A. 80^\circ
  2. B. 100^\circ
  3. C. 120^\circ
  4. D. 220^\circ

Correct Answer: B. 100^\circ

Explanation

Using the formula for angle \theta = |30H - 5.5M|. For H=4 and M=40: \theta = |30(4) - 5.5(40)| = |120 - 220| = |-100| = 100^\circ.
