During $60$ minutes $(1$ hour $),$ the minute hand completes one rotation, i.e., it subtends an angle of measure $360 .$

$\therefore$ The measure of the angle for the minor sector swept during $20$ minutes duration from $10.10$ $AM$ to $10.30$ $AM$

$\theta=\frac{360}{60} \times 20=120$

Radius of the minor sector $r$

$=$ Length of the minute hand $=14 \,cm$

Area of a minor sector $=\frac{\pi r^{2} \theta}{360}$

$=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{14 \times 14 \times 120}{360}$

$=\frac{616}{3}$

$=205 \frac{1}{3} cm ^{2}$

Thus, the area of the region swept by the minute hand during $10.10$ $AM$ to $10.30$ $AM$ is $205 \frac{1}{3} cm ^{2}$
