The correct answer is: $6 \mu \mathrm{m}$
In YDSE,
angular fringe width $\theta=0.1$
and wavelength of light, $\lambda=6000 Å=6 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}$
If ' $d$ ' be the distance between slits then, $\theta=\frac{\lambda}{d}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{d}=\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=\frac{6 \times 10^{-7}}{0.1}=6 \times 10^{-6}=6 \mu \mathrm{m}$
