Nothing wrong with mentioning to B that you have an offer from A and that A is putting on the thumbscrews to get you to say yes. That's the truth, isn't it? So tell the truth.
How B reacts to your news that A made you an offer depends on the tone of voice you used in telling the news, as well as what you subsequently said to B. If you used a "I am not interested in you anymore" tone of voice with B and what you said after the news is consistent with you losing interest in B - well, that's the message that B will act on.
The reason you want to mention A in the conversation is that, while you are not putting pressure on B, you want to make it clear to B that A is putting pressure on you and that you are feeling the pressure from A. Nothing wrong with saying that to B - it's the truth. So stick to the truth and don't complicate your life with extraneous considerations.

I had the b.com/tag/interview">interview process going on for about a month with co. 'A'. Meanwhile, I had a telephonic HR round with another bigger firm 'B', offering a much better opening on Monday. on Tuesday, 'A' made an offer and started pressurizing to accept it on Wednesday. Since I wanted to sit for the B as well, I ended up calling the HR at B and asked her for a time frame in which they could decide for further rounds. I mistakenly told B that I am asking this as I have another offer while I wanted to pursue the opening with 'B'.
Now, I am afraid that it might not go down well with 'B' as I explicitly mentioned I have another offer (though I found the HR at 'B' quite professional in her conduct).
Is that really a mistake to have mentioned receipt of another offer while asking for a timeframe? And does that send out a message to B that I need not be considered for next rounds as I already have an impending offer?
