60'=360 deg then
12 hrs=360 deg
12-60
6 - ? = (60*6)/12=180 deg
12 hrs=360 deg
12-60
6 - ? = (60*6)/12=180 deg

Hi, @Gowtham.S.
In 60 minutes, the minute hand gains 55 minutes on the hour on the hour hand. What does it mean?

So, in 1 hour minute hand covers 360 degrees.
So, in 1 hour Hour hand completes 30 degrees. (Since clock has 12 hours in a complete journey.
So 12 hours = 360 degrees that means 360/12 = 30 degrees in 1 hour.
Now, the solution is straightforward.
1 hour Hour hand traverses 30 degrees.
So, in 6 hours it will traverse = 30*6 = 180 degrees. :).
