Again varies....I don't usually let time get in the way when I read, that distracts the hell out of me. But from past experience when I add up the times (reading + answering questions), it works out to about 2 to 2.5 mins per question. Thus if the passage has about 4 questions, I spend approx 10 mins on it.
