Value of Condylar Inclination

What is the value of Condylar Inclination? A. 10-15 Degree 
B. 15-20 Degree 
C. 20-25 Degree 
D. 30-40 Degree

Ans. (C)
Condylar Element- Average settings of the condylar inclination on the articulator can be used. The average value given in early studies were 33 degrees for sagittal and 15 degrees for lateral condylar path inclination. 
Hanau H2- Bennett angle (L) (H/8) + 12 
Perheps the Bennett Angle should be set at an average setting of 15° and thus eliminate the calculations. 

Oiscussion- On solving the above said equation the value of H (Horizontal Condylar guidance comes out to be 24°, So I am giving the lower value as answer after discussion with the prosthetic  teachers.
