Hi man4ish
the soln. according to me is as follows
according to rule pH = -log[H+]
= -log[10-8] = 8    (common mistake)
but pH of an acid can't be 8 so we have to take contribution of H+ from water
therefore total H+ ion in solution
=H+ (from HCl) + H+ (from H2O) = 10-8 + 10-7 = 1.1 * 10-7      Moles/litre
therefore pH = -log[1.1 * 10-7] = 7 - log1.1 = 7 - 0.0414 = 6.9586
