Since like charges repel each other, two charged balloons repel each other. When a charged body is brought near an uncharged body, the uncharged body acquires charges on its surface caused by the induction of charges. The charges are of opposite nature in relation to the charged body.

Answer:
The surface charge on the balloons are of the same nature hence they get repelled. When a charged balloon is brought near an uncharged balloon due to the induction of charges, it acquires charges which are opposite in nature with that of a charged balloon. As unlike charges attract each other, the uncharged balloon gets attracted by the charged balloon.
