Yes, both hands in the opposite direction. So 180° is the correct answer.

12hr - 8hr = 4hr.
4hr + 2hr = 6hr.
1Hr = 360° % 60.
So, 30° * 6 = 180°.
4hr + 2hr = 6hr.
1Hr = 360° % 60.
So, 30° * 6 = 180°.

From 8 am to 2 pm, the duration is 6 hrs.
6hrs means 6 x 60 = 360 min.
Hour hand moves 0.5 degrees in 1 min, so in 360 min it will move.
360 x 0.5 = 180 degrees.
6hrs means 6 x 60 = 360 min.
Hour hand moves 0.5 degrees in 1 min, so in 360 min it will move.
360 x 0.5 = 180 degrees.

Every 1 hour has 30°
Time travelled (14-8)=6 (2 PM written in 24-hour format).
The Angle made by hours hand is 30°*6 = 180°.

Here, the angle between 1 h is 30.
Then 30*6 is 180.
Then 30*6 is 180.

1hrs = 30degree.
8am to 2pm there is between 6hrs gap.
so, 1hrs = 30degree
6hrs = 6 * 30 = 180degree.

6hrs = 6 * 30 = 180degree.

It's a simple way;
12hours = 360°.
6(half of 12) = 180°(half of 360).
12hours = 360°.
6(half of 12) = 180°(half of 360).

12 hr= 360°.
To complete 12 hr it takes 360°.
So for 1 hr= 30°.
The difference of time between 8 to 2 is 6 hr.
So, 6hr * 30° = 180°.
To complete 12 hr it takes 360°.
So for 1 hr= 30°.
The difference of time between 8 to 2 is 6 hr.
So, 6hr * 30° = 180°.
