Solution

The correct option is D Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true
Mass is the quantity of matter contained in any object and is constant everywhere. So, mass of the boy would still be 50 kg when taken to mars. Only weight can change as it depends upon the value of acceleration due to gravity of a planet.
