    Angle traced by hour hand in 12 h = 360°
    Angle traced by hour hand in 25/4 h = ( 360/12) x (25/4)° = 187.5°
    Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min = 360°
    Angle traced by it in 15 min = (360/60) x 15° = 90°

    Correct Option: C

    Angle traced by hour hand in 12 h = 360°
    Angle traced by hour hand in 25/4 h = (360/12) x (25/4)° = 187.5°
    Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min = 360°
    Angle traced by it in 15 min = (360/60) x 15° = 90°
    ∴ Required angle = (187.5° - 90°) = 97.5°
