Dear student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:

Total distance to cover=2km = 2×1000 = 2000 mSpeed of A=16m/secSo time taken by A to cover 2000 m = 200016=125 secSince A reaches the destination 1 min. 15 sec before BSo, time taken by B to cover 2000 m = 125 sec+1min. 15 sec                                                                   = 125 sec+60+15 sec                                                                   = 200 secTherefore speed of B = 2000200=10 m/sec
