Solution

The correct option is C 21 minutes 15 seconds

Television serial runs for half an hour, that is, 30 minutes.
Length of advertisement = 8 minutes 45 seconds.

Therefore the duration of the show is:
= (30 minutes) - (8 minutes 45 seconds)
= (30 - 8) minutes - 45 seconds
= 22 minutes - 45 seconds

= 21 minutes 15 seconds
