Imagine the acceleration due to gravity on earth is 
and on mars is 
. A traveller of mass 60 kg goes from earth to mars by a rocket moving with constant velocity. If effect of other planets is assumed to be negligible, which one of the following graphs shows the variation of weight of traveller with time.
