1 hour takes 30 degrees given 8am-2pm 6 hours then 6 (30) = 180 degrees.

So, in 1 hour minute hand covers 360 degrees.
So, in 1 hour Hour hand completes 30 degrees. (Since clock has 12 hours in a complete journey.
So 12 hours = 360 degrees that means 360/12 = 30 degrees in 1 hour.
Now, the solution is straightforward.
1 hour Hour hand traverses 30 degrees.
So, in 6 hours it will traverse = 30*6 = 180 degrees. :).

Hi, @Gowtham.S.
In 60 minutes, the minute hand gains 55 minutes on the hour on the hour hand. What does it mean?

Hour rotates for one hour is 30 degree?
But in our problem difference from 8 to 2 is 6 hours.
So multiply 6 hrs * 30°
Answer is 180°.
