had a doubt why dint the -6 in each of the terms in set b not be considered


If you add 6 (or any other number) to every value in a set, the standard deviation won't change. So these two sets, for example:

10, 20, 50, 90

and

16, 26, 56, 96

have the same standard deviation, because I made the second set by adding 6 to every value in the first set. For that reason, we can just add 6 to every term in Set B in this question, knowing we won't be changing the standard deviation when we do that.
