14:44 hours

Explanation:

15:17 - 0:33 = 14:44
[ 15:17 means 15 hours 17 minutes and 33 minutes to be subtracted from it. How to :- Borrow 1 hour from 15 hours and convert it in 60 minutes and add with 17 minutes.(means 60 +17 = 77 minutes). Now subtract 33 minutes from it means 77 - 33 = 44 minutes. So as a whole it is 14 hours 33 minutes]
