Question:

A FIBA sanctioned game of basketball typically consists of ______.

Options:

4 quarters of 15 minutes each

2 halves of 30 minutes each

4 quarters of 10 minutes each

2 halves of 25 minutes each

Correct Answer:

4 quarters of 10 minutes each

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - 4 quarters of 10 minutes each

A FIBA (International Basketball Federation) sanctioned game of basketball typically consists of 4 quarters of 10 minutes each. This duration may vary in different leagues or tournaments, but in FIBA-sanctioned games, the standard format is four quarters of 10 minutes each.

The other options deviate from FIBA regulations:

2 halves of 30 minutes each: This shortens the overall game time compared to FIBA rules.

4 quarters of 15 minutes each: This extends the total game time beyond the standard FIBA format.

2 halves of 25 minutes each: This also deviates from the official FIBA structure for quarter lengths.
