A contains 56 black balls. Therefore, A contains 56/.8 = 70 White balls.

Now, Black balls in B is 120 % more than 70. => (100% + 20 % ) more => 70 + 14 = 84 more => 154 balls.

Given . Black/White in box B = 7/10 => white balls in B = (154/7) * 10 = 220 . IMO A.

Harsha

A->bl/wh=0.8
B->bl/wh=0.7

bl(B)=2.2wh(A)
bl(A)=56

=> wh(A)=bl(A)/0.8
=70

bl(B)=2.2*wh(A)
=154

wh(B)=bl(B)/0.7=220


A
