Detailed Solution

Plastic straws A and B are rubbed with a dry cloth. When both the straws are brought near each other then they will repel each other.
We have two types of charges, one is a positive charge, and the other is a negative charge. Similar charges repel each other, and different charges attract each other. So, if two positive or two negative charges are brought near each other, both will repel each other, but if a positive charge is brought near a negative charge, both will attract each other. So, When plastic straws A and B are rubbed with the dry cloth, they get similar charges. When they are brought near each other, they repel each due to their similar charges.
