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).

What is the angle between hands of clock at half past 12q?

Since one-quarter of clock to another quarter of the clock is 90°, the time of 10 to 12 is sorted. Remaining is 8 to 9 and 12 to 2.
8 to 9=> one third of angle covered by quarter(90÷3)= 30.
12 to 2 => since one third is 30°, two thirds will be 30*2= 60°.
Total angle =90 + 30 + 60 = 180°.

One hour = 30°
=8 * 30 = 240,
=2 * 30= 60,
= 240-60 = 180°.

Thanks for all the explanation of the answer.

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.
