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

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
