Read Solution (Total 2)

Meenu weighs 58 Kgs.
It is given that Meenu weighs 29 Kgs plus half of her own weight. It means that
29 Kgs is the other half. So she weighs 58 Kgs.
Solving mathematically, let's assume that her weight is X Kgs.
X = 29 + X/2
2*X = 58 + X
X = 58 Kgs

let meenu age=x
x=x/2+29
x=x+58/2
2x=x+58
2x-x=58
x=58(meenu's age is 58)ans
