There are 8 black chips and 6 white chips, 14 chips in total. In this situation the probability to pick a black chip is 8/14=4/7.

When one white chip was removed, then only 5 white chips left and the total number of chips became 13. In this situation the probability to pick a black chip is 8/14=4/7.

When second white chip was removed, then ther left 4 white chips and the total number of chips became 12. Now the probability to pick a black chip is 8/12=2/3 as needed.

Answer: Must be removed 2 white chips. Correct choice is B.
