 \begin{array}{l} \text { Given } \frac{g_{m}}{g_{e}}=\frac{1}{6} \\ \Rightarrow g_{e}=6 g_{m} \end{array}

so using
$v^{2}=u^{2}-2 g s \quad$

where

g= acceleration due to gravity

s= total height

and v=0

then we get

for earth

\begin{array}{l} 0=u^{2}-2 g s \\ \Rightarrow s=\frac{u^{2}}{2 g}\\ For \ earth \ 2=\frac{u^{2}}{2 g_{e}}\\ for \ moon \ \ h=\frac{u^{2}}{2 g_{m}} \end{array}

So using g_{e}=6 g_{m}

we get

h=12 m

so the boy can jump height of 12 m on moon's surface

g on moon = 1/6 th (g on earth)

6g (moon) = g (earth)

Since, Distance of jump with g on earth = 2m 

Therefore, Distance of jump with g on moon =6 × 2 = 12m 

Hence, he will jump 12m on moon .

Given,

Se=2m

ge=10m/s²

gm=1/6of ge 

sm=? 

Se=1/6ge

Se=sm/6

for se we have =2m

so,

2m=sm/6

sm=2X6

hence boy jump 12 m on moon
