Clock is consider as circle 360 deg
the duration of Time= 6 hrs
total = 12 hrs
calculated deg=time duration*deg/total hrs
=6(360/12)=180

Angle = mod(5.5*2m - 30*h);

where m=minute, h=hour;

Please help me with this. To strike 8 o'clock a clock took 8 seconds. What time will that clock take to strike 12 noon?

60'=360 deg then
12 hrs=360 deg
12-60
6 - ? = (60*6)/12=180 deg

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°.

Hi, @Gowtham.S.

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