1. Calculate the time taken for the first 10 questions

Time for first 10 questions = 10×3=3010 \times 3 = 30 min

2. Calculate the time taken for the remaining 10 questions

Time per remaining question = 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 min
Time for remaining 10 questions = 10×6=6010 \times 6 = 60 min

3. Calculate the total time taken

Total time = 30+60=9030 + 60 = 90 min = 1 h 30 min

4. Determine the completion time

Start time = 1.20 p.m.
Completion time = 1.20 p.m. + 1 h 30 min = 2.50 p.m.

Answer

2.50 p.m.
