Answer:
Weight of body on moon = 1/6th of its weight on earth. Mass of a body does not change with change in gravity. So mass of a body will remain the same on moon.

Explanation:
Because the moon has less mass than Earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 of that on Earth.
In this case, the weight of a body is 6N on the moon. So, the weight of a body on earth is 6×6 N = 36 N.
Hence, the weight of a body is 36 N on the earth.
