Answer
The repulsion between two charged balloons occurs because both balloons carry the same type of charge, resulting in like charges repelling each other. On the other hand, when a charged balloon is brought close to an uncharged balloon, due to induction, the uncharged balloon acquires opposite charge. Due to this they are attracted to each other.
