Answer:
Initially one object is positive and one is negative , with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge.
Explanation:
The object that is attracted to a positively charged ebonite rod, must have the negative charge as the oppose charges attract. However the object that is repelled by the rod must have the positive charge because the same charges repel that's why object move away from the rod.
Now after the objects are touched together, then there must be a flow of charge from one object to other until they got the equal charge in magnitude. As the both objects repel the rod it means both have now got the positive charge. So there must be initially a positive charge wih higher magnitude.
So we can conclude that,
" Initially one object is positive and one is negative , with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge."
