Here is a simple answer to go.

Hour hand makes a st.Line between 8 to 2.

So, clearly 180 degrees.

Total degree in clock = 360,
1 clock have = 30,
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hr.
6 * 30 = 180.

Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
From 8:00am - To 2:00 pm = 6 hrs duration.
Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
Then, Hour hand rotate 180 degrees in 6 hrs.

Hey there guys,

It says 8pm to 2am so the duration is 6hrs.

So that we can consider it be like 6 (Hr):00 (Min).

Formula={M- (5*Hr+M/12) }*6.

Hence, Min =0 & hr is 6.
= (5*6+0/12) *6.
=30*6.
=180°.
Hope you understood.

12 hr= 360°.

To complete 12 hr it takes 360°.
So for 1 hr= 30°.
The difference of time between 8 to 2 is 6 hr.
So, 6hr * 30° = 180°.

It's a simple way;
12hours = 360°.
6(half of 12) = 180°(half of 360).

1hrs = 30degree.

8am to 2pm there is between 6hrs gap.
so, 1hrs = 30degree
6hrs = 6 * 30 = 180degree.
