Answer:

Box A has 1121 buttons more than Box C

Explanation:

4432 boxes are made in three hours

Then in six hours, we would be making double of this

The number of boxes made is 4432 * 2 = 8864 boxes

Now,

we have boxes A B C to fill

Filling box B, we have 3363 boxes left to fill A and B

Now C holds half of what A hold

so we can say the ratio of buttons in C to A is 1:2

The number of buttons in C would thus be

1/3 * 3363 = 1121

Number of buttons in A would be 2/3 * 3363 = 2 * 1121 = 2242 buttons

Now the number of buttons with which the buttons in A exceeds that in C would be 2242 -1121 = 1121 buttons
