Hide a specific post from Archive Feed

Question

I want to remove a custom post type post from it's archive feed only. But keep in the main feed.

Like is I have 1) main feed: myexample/feed 2) Custom post type Archive Feed: myexample/mytype_archive/feed

And a custom post named "How are you?" I want to show the post to main feed marked as (1) but hide on post type archive feed marked by (2)

This is what I tried till now:

function archive_exclude_post($query) {
   if($query->is_feed() && $query->is_archive()){
      $query->set('post__not_in', array(40, 9) );
   }
   return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'archive_exclude_post' );

Not worked for me .Help me to fix the issue please.

I think this may be what you need - customizing feeds Feed templates are in wp-includes. It's pretty straight forward from there to edit a loop to exclude a post or create a new feed template for the custom post type.
