A handball match lasts for a total of ______ minutes.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 60.
A handball match lasts for a total of 60 minutes, divided into two halves of 30 minutes each. There is a 10-15 minute halftime break between the two halves. In the event of a tie, extra time of 2 halves of 5 minutes each may be played. If the score remains tied after extra time, a penalty shootout is used to determine the winner. The match duration ensures that players have sufficient time to showcase their skills and strategy.
