Detailed Solution

v=10×60=600 m/s ---(i)

As after burning of fuel the initial velocity from Eq. (i) is  600 m/s and gravity opposes the motion of rocket, so the time taken by it to reach the maximum height (for which v=0 ).
0=600-gt t=60 s
i.e. after finishing fuel the rocket further goes up for 60 s, or 1 min.
