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

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. :).

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

12 hours = 360 deg. Then 1 hour = 30 degree.

Simple form.
For 12 hours we take 360 degree.
And 8-2 = 6.
So, 360/12*6 = 180.
For 12 hours we take 360 degree.
And 8-2 = 6.
So, 360/12*6 = 180.
