Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Angle}}\,{\text{traced}}\,{\text{by}}\,{\text{hour}}\,{\text{hand}}\,{\text{in}}\,\frac{{13}}{3}\,{\text{hrs}} \cr & = {\left( {\frac{{360}}{{12}} \times \frac{{13}}{3}} \right)^ \circ } = {130^ \circ } \cr & {\text{Angle}}\,{\text{traced}}\,{\text{by}}\,{\text{min}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{hand}}\,{\text{in}}\,{\text{20}}\,{\text{min}} \cr & = {\left( {\frac{{360}}{{60}} \times 20} \right)^ \circ } = {120^ \circ } \cr & \therefore {\text{Required}}\,{\text{angle}} \cr & = {\left( {130 - 120} \right)^ \circ } \cr & = {10^ \circ } \cr} $$

    260/60 hours = 13/3 hours
