Angle = (11*m)/2 - 30 * h.
Use this formula for solving the clock problem.

How many times the two hands of a clock will make 180 degree from 4pm to 10pm?

Every hour, 2 right angles are formed between the hands. But because minute hand crosses hour hand every 55 mins, every hour, there is a 5-minute lag. For 24 hours, the lag is 24x5= 120 mins i.e. 2 hour lag - a loss of 4 right angles in 24 hours.
So: 24x2 - loss = 44.
So: 24x2 - loss = 44.

As for one hour right angle will be two times.
So, the answer is should be 48.
So, the answer is should be 48.

Yes, the answer is 44 times. In between 2-3 & 8-9 o'clock, only one 90° angle is formed. Hence, In 12 hrs. No of times 90° angles is formed decreases from 24 to 22. & In a day 44times, 90° angles is formed.
Fact: For any angle, the no of times it is formed in a day is 44 times.

When time starts at 12 noon, at 12:15 angle b/w them is 90.
For 1 pm angle subtended by two hands as 90 degrees will twice. Once the minute hand is approaching the hour hand and once it is going away from hour hand. it is similar for 2 pm, but in the case of 3 pm only one time. for second chance it's out of range.
