(180 + 90) 2 = 11 m
m = 540/11 = 49 1/11 minutes.

Since, in one hour, two hands of a clock coincide only once, so, there will be value.
Required time T = 211H×30 + Ao minutes past H.
Here H - initial position of hour hand = 2 (since 2 O'clock)
A° = Required angle = 0° (Since it coincides)

T = 2112×30 + 0o minutes past 2 

=> 11011 minutes past 2
