Dear student,

Positive charge on an extended(large) body is just deficiency of electrons in it, whereas negative charges is the presence of excess electrons on it.
Hence when identical bodies are given positive and negative charges, the postively charged body is lighter(by the weight of electrons removed) and the negatively charged body is heavier( by the weight of electrons added).
