When two spheres (non insulated) of equal size are brought in to contact with each other, the charges in them will try to distribute in a manner that the two spheres will both have equal charges.
In this case here, each of the sphere would have (qA+qB)/2 charges. However, since the spheres are insulated, the two spheres will retain their respective charges.
