We will observe that the potatoes will swell. For the potato in beaker A, the swelling will be very little to observe but in beaker B, it will swell to an extent that we can observe. This happens due to osmosis. It undergoes endosmosis due to difference in solute-solvent concentration.

In:-
1-Beaker A :- Beaker A, which is containing 0.2% of sugar solution,there will be no change
2-Beaker B:-In breaker B,Exomosis process will take place because solute concentration is more in outside as compared to inside.
