For Having Taken.

Hi,

Question 1: I'd like to know whether the following sentence is correct.

1-I’m sorry for having taken so long to answer you.

If so, then what's the difference in meaning between it and the following sentences.

2-I’m sorry for taking so long to answer you.

3-I’m sorry for being taken so long to answer you.

4-I'm sorry I have taken so long to answer you.

5-I'm sorry I have been taken so long to answer you.


Question 2: can I say the following:

6-I'm having taken a hard time.

7-They are having taken so long to resolve the problem.



Thank you
