If the weight of a man on the surface of the earth is 75kg, then his weight on the surface of the moon will be

A

150 kg-wt

B

50 kg-wt

C

12.5 kg-wt

D

25 kg-wt

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
On the surface of the moon, `g'=(g)/(6)`
`therefore` weight `=(75)/(6)=12.5` kg wt.
