    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Weight of A and B are 3x and 5x.
    Initial weight before increase = (132*100)/110 = 120
    8x = 120. X = 15
    Initial weight of A and B are 45 and 75 kg respectively.
    New weight of A = 54 so weight of B = 132 – 54 = 78.
    So % increase = [(78-75)/75]*100 = 4 %
