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

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°.

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.

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

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