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
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;
where m=minute, h=hour;

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?

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. :).
