Firstly, use 8:50 (with a colon) instead of 8.50 (with a full stop)
Secondly, use either 17:40 (24 hour clock) or 5:40 PM (12 hour clock)
Thirdly, if you are using the 12 hour clock, use one (and only one) space
between the 5:40 and the PM, not 2 spaces as you have
If you deal with those, =B1-A1 will give you 8:50
If you want 8:40, you'll need to subtract 10 minutes, so =B1-A1-TIME(0,10,0)
You could, of course, devise a formula to correct some of the errors above,
but you'll need to know what range of possible errors you are trying to deal
with.
