In a standard FIBA International game, how many quarters are played, and how long is each quartar?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Four 10-minute quarters.
In a standard FIBA international basketball game, there are four 10-minute quarters. This results in a total regulation playing time of 40 minutes.
If the score is tied at the end of the fourth quarter, the game proceeds into 5-minute overtime periods until a winner is determined. This structure differs from the NBA, which utilizes 12-minute quarters, and US college basketball (NCAA), which typically uses two 20-minute halves for men's games.
