The logic follows here is:

The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand can be calculated as:

FORMULA :

Angle = | (60H - 11M) / 2 |

Where M = Minutes and H = Hours

Here, the angle formula is in mod value therefore two angles are calculated from it.

Calculation :

Given time: 6 : 00

By using the above formula:

Angle = | (60H - 11M) / 2 |

Here, H = 6 and M = 0

Therefore, 

Angle = | (60 × 6 - 11 × 0) / 2 |

= | (360 - 0) / 2 |

= | (360)/2 |

= | 180 |

= 180°

Thus,  the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 6 :00 is '180°'.

Hence, the correct answer is "180°".
