When I was installing cumulative update of March month was
taken more than 3 hours but it was not completed and I was stopped the
installation of cumulative update and finally found the below script from the
following link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/04/01/why-sharepoint-2013-umulative-update-takes-5-hours-to-install.aspx
which saved my time and I want to thanks Russ Maxwell.
Below is the script and save and run it on the server.
