    10 times

    Explanation:

    The weight of the person is defined as the product of mass of person and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

    Let the gravity is g.

    W = m x g ... (1)

    Now the value of g depends on the mass of earth when the radius of earth is constant.

    g' = 10 g

    So, W' = m x g' = m x 10 g = 10 mg = 10 W (from (1)

    So, the weight of the person becomes 10 times.
