Hey there guys,
It says 8pm to 2am so the duration is 6hrs.
So that we can consider it be like 6 (Hr):00 (Min).
Formula={M- (5*Hr+M/12) }*6.
Hence, Min =0 & hr is 6.
= (5*6+0/12) *6.
=30*6.
=180°.
Hope you understood.

Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
From 8:00am - To 2:00 pm = 6 hrs duration.
Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
Then, Hour hand rotate 180 degrees in 6 hrs.
From 8:00am - To 2:00 pm = 6 hrs duration.
Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
Then, Hour hand rotate 180 degrees in 6 hrs.

Total degree in clock = 360,
1 clock have = 30,
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hr.
6 * 30 = 180.
1 clock have = 30,
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hr.
6 * 30 = 180.

Here is a simple answer to go.
Hour hand makes a st.Line between 8 to 2.
So, clearly 180 degrees.

Total (6hr * 60min) /2 = 180°.
Hour hand moves 1/2 in 1min.

Each hour has 30 degrees. So, 8 to 2 there are 6 hours. So 30*6=180.
