Answer

Take the two bars, and put them together like a T, so
that one bisects the other.

If
they stick together, then bar B is the magnet. If they
don't, bar A is the magnet.
Bar magnets are "dead" in their centers there is
no magnetic force, since the two poles cancel out. So,
if bar A is the magnet, then bar B won't stick to its
center. However, bar magnets are quite "live" at their
ends the magnetic force is concentrated. So, if
bar B is the magnet, then bar A will stick nicely to its
end.
