[UPSC CSE 1996] Electrostatics and Magnetostatics (Q248, 30M)

A relay has a coil resistance of 10\ \Omega and inductance of 1\text{ H}. It is energized by a single voltage pulse of 10\text{ V} which remains constant for 250\text{ ms} and then falls to 0\text{ V}. Relay contact closes when the increasing current reaches 200\text{ mA} and opens when the decreasing current is at 100\text{ mA}. Calculate the time for which the relay contact is closed.
