Calculate Degree at particular time

[sonia.sardana]

Hey frnds, i have faced the interview question--

Suppose time is 11:00, What is the degree at this particular time???
Suppose time is 3:00, What is the degree at this particular time???

I have clue abt this question,plz reply.

This is from the US Army Air Force in World War II.

The pilots used two clock faces to tell the direction of an object with respect to the aircraft.

On one clock face, 12:00 was straight ahead. 6:00 was directly behind the tail, 9:00 was off the left wing tip and 3:00 was off the right wing tip.

There was another clock face imagined to be perpendicular to the aircraft. On this clock an object directly above was at 12:00 high. Directly below was 6:00 low. Therefore, any thing high was above the aircraft and any thing low was below the aircraft.

A clock is 360 degrees. An hour is, therefore 30 degrees.

Your 11:00, therefore, is 30 degrees left of the direction of travel at the same altitude.

They told me that there is some formla to calculate,This Question is asked to me in the company.

I expect there is a formula but my earlier post has all the information you need to deduce what that formula is.

Hey, find the resolution below.
If the time is 11:00, Degree is 330.
If the time is 03:00, Degree is 90.
Because the difference between the every hour is 30 degree.
