Correct Answer: 65 minutes
Solution : Speed of man = 8 km/hr Distance = 6 km Time of rest = 4 minute Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ 8 km distance covered by man in 1 hour ⇒ 6 km distance will be covered by man in $\frac{1}{8}×6$ hrs i.e. in 45 minutes. Also, he must rest 5 times to cover 6 Km for 4 minutes. So, time taken to rest = 5 × 4 = 20 minutes ⇒ Total time taken by him = 65 minutes $\therefore$ It will take 65 minutes to cover a distance of 6 km. Hence, the correct answer is 65 minutes.
