Let the box volume be V, so when the box is in the water, it displaces a water volume of V.
Gravitational force = mg
Buoyancy force on box = 1000Vg.
Net force = Buoyancy - Gravitational = 1000Vg - mg = mg/6 
          .. since the net acceleration is upwards and g/6.
1000Vg = 7mg/6      ... (1)
Now let the mass of box after we put sand is, M.
Then,
Net force =  Gravitational - Buoyancy = Mg - 1000Vg = Mg/6
Mg - 7mg/6 = Mg/6      ... from (1)
M = 7m/5
Therefore mass of sand,  M - m = 2m/5 kg.
