Question

A match starts at 7.45 p.m. It has two halves of 45 minutes each. The half-time break lasts for 15 minutes and the referee adds on an extra three minutes at the end of each half. At what time does the match finish ?

• A. 9.21 p.m.
• B. 8.30 p.m.
• C. 9.36 p.m.
• D. 9.30 p.m.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9.36 p.m.

Starting time of the match = 7:45 PM
Total time for both the halves = (45 + 45) min = 90 min
( Note: min = minutes)
Break time + Extra time at the end of each halves = (15 + 3 + 3) min = 21 min
Total time taken for the match = (90 + 21) min = 111 min = 1 hr 51 min
So, Ending time of the match = 7:45 + 1 hr 51 min = 9:36 PM
