$(b)$ $Case$ $A$ Here only force acting on weighing pan is weight of water.
So, $w_{A}=m g$
$Case$ $B$ In this case, downward forces are weight and reaction of buoyant force.
$\therefore \quad w_{B}=m g+F_{B}$
$Case$ $C$ In this case, downward acting forces are weight and reaction of buoyant force which is same is as that of case $B$ as balls are of same size.
$\therefore \quad w_{C}=m g+F_{B}$
$Case$ $D$ ln this case, forces acting on bottom of beaker are
$m^{\prime} g$ : weight of ball
$m g$ : weight of water
$F_{B}$ : reaction of buoyant force
$T$ : tension in string
Also, $\quad T=F_{B}$
So, net downward force on bottom of beaker is $m g+m^{\prime} g$.
$\therefore \quad w_{D}=m g+m^{\prime} g$
So, $w_{B}=w_{C} > w_{D} > w_{A}$
