For P :  hour hand moved by  $210^{\circ}$. So the hour hand will cover the distance equivalent to  $\frac{210^{\circ}\times 12}{360^{\circ}}= 7hr$

For Q:  hour hand moved by  $210^{\circ}$. So the hour hand will cover the distance equivalent to  $\frac{240^{\circ}\times 12}{360^{\circ}}= 8hr$

Effective work hours for P :  $7-(0.25\times 2)=6.5$

Effective work hours for Q:  $8-0.334=7.667$

Total bill for the consultants :  $(6.5\times200)+(7.667\times200)=2833.4$

Amount remaining with the client:  $3000-2833.4=166.67$

Option B is correct
