Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 52 seconds.
The full version of the National Anthem of India, Jana Gana Mana, is meant to be sung in about 52 seconds. This time was fixed when the anthem was formally adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 24 January 1950.
There is also a shorter version, made of the first and last lines, which takes about 20 seconds and is used on occasions where time is limited.
