Either positive of the negative half cycle would not be represented in an HW rectifier it depends on the diode placement but it still is just 180 degrees of full 360.

@Chandu.
One cycle is 360 degree. Half will be 360/2 = 180.
One cycle is 360 degree. Half will be 360/2 = 180.

Answer is 90 because negative cycle is absent so, 180/2 = 90.

No current flows in negative half cycle so only for +ve half cycle it is 180.

Because during the negative half cycle, the waves are going to be absent.
