Answer:

A≥C>B

Explanation:

The total charge on the spheres depends on the pair attached. considering pair (A), the pair of +6 and +2 will produce a net charge +8 on pair A. Pair (B) has one positive and negative sphere of + 6 charge and other having -2 charge when brought near the net charge becomes +4. Pair C has a sphere having +6 charge and other is neutral i.e 0 charge when brought near the net charge on the pair becomes +6. In terms of ranking, pair A is the highest while pair B is the lowest.
