160 degrees

computation

Say reference is 1200 , when hour arm is at 0240 , this means that it has traveled

(40/60)X(360deg/12hrs) deg = 20deg past 0200, angle between 0200 and 0800 (equivqlent to minute arm at 40 minutes) is 180 deg. Hence nett smaller angle between the hr and minute arms are 180-20 degs= 160 deg
