Solution

The correct option is C Weight of an object on the moon is 1/6 times of the object on earth.
The given relation is, E = 6 x M

From the given relation it is found that,
weight of an object on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ times of that on the earth.

Hence, the correct statement is, "Weight of an object in moon is 1/6 times of the object in earth."
