Total 6 person before adding 3 more person.
Solution:
Total age of x person = 26x
Add 3 person with avg age 29
i.e total age of x+3 person = 26x +29*3
Given after adding 3 person avg age is 27.
Total age = 27*(x+3)
Now solve the equation
26x+29*3=27*(x+3)
Ans 6
Total person 6+3=9

initial avg weight is 26
average weight if the added 3 persons is 29
avg weight after addition of 3 members is 27
let the initial number be X so their total weight will be X * 27
so ((X*27)+(3*29))/(X+3)=27
X will be 6 so answer is 9
