UPSC Civil Services 2016 Prelims General Studies Paper II

Class start at 11: 00 am
Class ends at 02:27‌pm
So, duration of class =3h27‌min=207‌min
There will be 4 periods.
After every period, there will be a 5 min break.
Here, only 3 breaks will be taken as there are only 4 periods and end of 4th period means end of the class. 4th break is not needed to be considered.
So, duration of the periods =207−3×5=192 min.
∴ Time assigned to each period =

192

4

=48‌min
