Step 2: put all (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10) balls on the balance .
Step 3: This should weight 550 gm. bzc (55*10=550).but one box has defective balls and will cause to make change in 550 gm. if there is change of 1 gm either less or more than 550 gm means ball from 1st box is responsible for this change . if 2 gm difference is there then box from which 2 balls were taken is responsible. and so on
