Detailed Solution

in this man travels 60m in one minute on the surface of the earth which means he has a velocity of 1m/s but this velocity is along the surface of the earth so it is not affected by the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth because that is perpendicular to the surface.

since the velocity of the person does not depend on the acceleration due to the gravity of a planet he will have the same velocity on any other planet surface therefore the distance he will cover on the moon surface in one minute will also be 60 meters
