Solution

The correct option is A

10N


We know, weight of a body, W=mg
where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration gue to gravity.
So, mg=60N
m=60g.
Now calculating weight of the body on moon :
Wm=m×gm, where gm is the acceleration due to gravity on moon.
gm=g6
Wm=m×g6
Wm=60g×g6
Wm=10N
