Detailed Solution

Given, a loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes.

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes.

Then 5 hours $= 5 \times 60 = 300$ minutes.

Let the truck travels x km in 300 minutes.

Distance travelled ( in km )	14	x
Time taken ( in minutes )	25	300

Here, distance and time are in direct proportion.

So, $\frac{14}{25} = \frac{x}{300} .$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{14 \times 300}{25} = 168 .$

Thus, it can travel 168 km in 5 hours.
