We need to find what the time is when the hands of the clock are at 180 degree to each other for the first time after 12:00. Let this be after x minutes. Now we know that the minute hand moves (360/60)*x degrees in x minutes. The hour hand moves (360/12*60)*x degrees in a minute. Now when the two hands are at 180 degree to each other it means that (360/60)*x - (360/12*60)*x = 180
canceling 180
=> 2x/60 - 2x/12*60 = 1
=> x (1/ 30 – 1/360) = 1
=> x = (1/ 30 – 1/360) ^-1
=> x = 32.727 min
Therefore the two hands are at 180 degree to each other at 32.72 minutes past 12:00.
