Speed of A = 10000/60 (as per formula d=vt where d= distance, v=velocity & t=time)
(note that i've converted km to meter & hour to minutes)

Distance run by A in 6 min = 10000/60 * 6 = 1000 meters

A has a start of 1000 + 100 = 1100 mtrs. In order to overtake A, B should gain
1100 mtrs. But B gains 2000 mtrs in 60 min.

time taken by B to gain 1100 mtrs = 60/2000 * 1100 = 33 min...
