Correct Answer: $1 \frac{1}{5}$ hours
Solution : Given: A man is walking at a speed of 14 km/h. We know, time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ So, the time taken to cover 7 km without rest = $\frac{7}{14}$ hrs = 30 minutes After every km, he takes a rest for 7 minutes. He must take rest 6 times during the journey. So, total time taken to rest = 6 × 7 minutes = 42 minutes Therefore, total time of journey = 30 + 42 = 72 minutes = $1\frac{1}{5}$ hours Hence, the correct answer is $1 \frac{1}{5}$ hours.
