Question

What was the duration of the Constituent Assembly?

• A. Two years, ten months and seventeen days
• B. Two years, eleven months and seventeen days
• C. Three years, eleven months and seventeen days
• D. Four years, eleven months and seventeen days

Hint:

Think of it as "almost 3 years".
3 years minus 13 days gives you the exact count of 2 years, 11 months, and 18 days.
This helps in rejecting options like "three years" or "four years" immediately.
