Consider exactly at 3 : 00, minute hand is at position '12' and hour hand is at '3' hence angle between these two hands at 3 : 00 is 90°
Since relative speed between them is 11/2° per minute or every minute hand will travel 11/2° more than the hour hand.
Then will be opposite to each other when the minute hand will travel (90 + 180) = 270° more than the hour hand. And time taken for this is (270)/(11/2) = 540/11 or 49 1/11 minute
Hence they will be opposite to each other at 3 : 49 minute : 0.09 secondCorrect Option: C

At 10 : 10 from the formula here P = 10 and Q = 10 so required angle is 11 x 10/2 - 30 x 10 = 55 - 300 = - 245 the required angle is 245°
Correct Option: A

At 1 : 40 from the formula here P = 1 and Q = 40 so required angle is 11 x 40/2 - 30 x 1 = 220 - 30 = 190 the required angle is 190°
Correct Option: B
At 1 : 40 from the formula here P = 1 and Q = 40 so required angle is 11 x 40/2 - 30 x 1 = 220 - 30 = 190 the required angle is 190°

At 4 : 20 A.M. from the formula here P = 4 and Q = 20 so required angle is 11 x 20/2 - 30 x 4 = 110 - 120 = - 10 or ignoring the negative sign the required angle is 10°
Correct Option: A
At 4 : 20 A.M. from the formula here P = 4 and Q = 20 so required angle is 11 x 20/2 - 30 x 4 = 110 - 120 = - 10 or ignoring the negative sign the required angle is 10°
