in this rxn A--2B+C, the rate const of rxn is 2x10-3 molL-1s-1.if initial conc of A is 1.6 mol L-1 then what would b conc of A and B after 10min respectively?

The rate of reaction for the above equation can be written as:
Rate = -Δ[A] Δt=12Δ[B] Δt =Δ[C] Δt ....(i)

Units of rate constant = mol/ (L s)
Which means the mentioned reaction is an example of zero order reaction, we known for zero order reaction, the rate = rate constant 
Therefore 
Rate = 2 × 10-3 mol L-1 s-1 
For A, the initial concentration is 1.6 mol L-1
Initial time = 0s 
And final time = 600 s
Substitute the value in equation 1, we get 

2 × 10-3 =- ( Af- 1.6)600 s1.2 = -Af + 1.6 Af = 1.6 - 1.2 Af = 0.4 M Similary for B, 2 × 10-3 =12( Bf- 0)600 s2.4 M = Bf 
Hence, amount of B formed after 10 min = 2.4 M 
Whereas amount of A left after 10 min = 0.4 M
