The correct answer is: 0.99 F

The figure below represents the two identical spheres.

The force between the charged sphere is,

F=kqqr2

If 10% of electrons are transferred from one sphere to
another, then the charge become on I sphere is
q+q10=1110q

And the charge on II  sphere is q-q10=910q

The force between the spheres is,

F'=k11q109q10r2

F'=99100kqqr2

F'=99100F=0.99F
