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.

HEY MARAN...HERE IS A ONE MORE METHOD 2 SOLVE DIS...
SEE WE HAVE TO FIND THE DEGREE @ 2p.m.
1 HR=30 DEGREES
SO THE GAP TIME BETWEEN 8a.m. to 2p.m. IS 6 HRS...
SO 6*30=180 DEGRESS...
I HOPE U UNDERSTOOD....

According to the problem, 1hour = 60'.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.

Each hour takes 180 degree to rotate.
That's very simple concept each clock takes a complete rotation to complete an hour. So one complete rotation denotes the angle of 180 degree.

198 seconds
to cover up 4 intervals=6seconds
1 gap=1.5 sec
2*(1.5+3.0+4.5+6+7.5+9+10.5+12+13.5+15+16.5+0)=198 seconds
as first interval takes 0 second 5-1 take 6 seconds
6/4= 1.5

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.

Here the no 8 & 2 are opposite to each other & are lie in straight line. So the angle between 8 & 2 is 180 degree (as a st line make 180 degree betn two pt).

Gus total clock degree = 360.
The distance between 2 to 8 = 6,
Total hours in a day = 24,
Remaining hours without six hours is 12 (12+6 = 24).
So 360/12 * 6 = 180.
The distance between 2 to 8 = 6,
Total hours in a day = 24,
Remaining hours without six hours is 12 (12+6 = 24).
So 360/12 * 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.

Formula- 30H - 11/2 M.
Here hours (H) given 6 and minutes (M) 0
So, 30 * 6 - 11/ 2 * 0.
30 * 6 = 180.
All these type problems solved by this formula.
