- The policeman is running at 9 km/h and the thief at 7 km/h.

- The speed difference is 9 km/h - 7 km/h = 2 km/h.

- The initial distance between them is 200 meters, which is 0.2 kilometers.

- Time taken for the policeman to cover this distance at 2 km/h = Distance / Speed = 0.2 km / 2 km/h = 0.1 hours.

- To convert 0.1 hours into minutes: 0.1 × 60 = 6 minutes.

- Therefore, the correct option is Option 1: 6 minutes.
