Solution
Anamika should put a flat wooden slab on the weighing machine, oh which chair can be kept easily, and record its weight. Then she should put the chair on the slab kept on the weighing machine.
The difference in the weight of the chair with wooden slab and weight of the wooden slab will give the weight of chair.
