Solution

The correct option is D Equal to $50 k g$
The mass of the object does not change by moving it to another place.Mass is in variant of the body . At the center of the earth the net gravitational force is zero, so the weight will be zero, but its masses will remain same.Hence the mass at the centre of earth will be equl to 50 kg.
