Solution

The correct option is A

15 kgf


Combined weight of astronaut and his space suit on Earth =60+30=90 kgf

Since, Moon's gravity is one-sixth of that of the Earth, the weight of the object on Moon is one-sixth of that on the Earth.

the combined weight of the astronaut and his space suit on Moon is 906=15 kgf
