C.

2:43 711\frac {7}{11}​ minutes

D.

2:22 311\frac {3}{11}​ minutes

Solution:
Formula to calculate the time when both hands of the clock make an angle of 180°:
Time = 6011×\frac {60}{11} \times | Initial angle between hands - 180°|
Initial angle at 2:00:
Angle = 30 ×\times 2 = 60°
Time after 2:00 when the make 180°:
Time = 60×(18060)11×30\frac {60 \times (180 - 60)}{11 \times 30}
60×120330\frac {60 \times 120}{330}

7200330\frac {7200}{330}

24011\frac {240}{11}
= 21911\frac {9}{11}
Exact time:
2:43711\frac {7}{11}minutes
Thus, correct option is (c).
\ngle=30×2=60°\text{Angle} = 30 \times 2 = 60°​​​
