Try to solve the Va section first and try to optimise your time for each rc, you don't have to solve every rc just scan those and pick any 2 of them and you can answer them within 6-7 minutes

i think 10m is not a problem because for 1 rc we will get min 4 questions so by just 20 min you can solve anyway around 6/7 questions , Its just my opinion i am writing cat 1st time my mentor says that give importance to accuracy

It depends on how many RCs and overall questions you're planning to attempt. My strategy is to attempt all the 4 RCs. So I take 7 minutes for every RC. But mainly focus on your accuracy and keep practicing, speed will follow.
