Correct Answer: 6 km


Solution : The required distance = $\frac{\text{Product of speeds in kmph}}{\text{Difference of speeds in kmph}}×\text{Difference in time in hours}$
= $\frac{5×6}{6-5}×\frac{7+5}{60}$
= 6 km
So, the distance he covered to reach the station is 6 km.
Hence, the correct answer is 6 km.
