At 3'o clock the angle between hour hand and the minute hand is 90degress.
Since Hour hand moves through an angle of 5degrees in 60 min,in 20min it moves through an angle of : (5*20)/60=5/3 degrees and the minunte hand moves through an angle of 120degrees.
Therefore, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 15:20 is : 30 ( 120-90 ) - (5/3) = 85/3 degrees
