Every hour the minute hand of the clock moves one full circle or
360 degree. During the same period the hour hand moves by 1/12th of a complete circle, or 30
degrees.
Thus every 1 hour after 12:00 the net angle between the
hour hand and minute hand increases by:
360 - 30 = 330
degrees
Therefore:
The time taken for
the angle between hour and minute hand to increase from by 180 degrees from 0 to 180 degrees is
given by:
Time for the angle to increase by 180 degrees =
180*(1/330)
= 6/11 hours.
= (6/11)*60 =
32.7272 minutes = 32 minutes and 44
seconds
Therefore:
Time after 12:00
when hands of clock are at 180 degrees to each others = 12:32:44
