If a human being has a weight of 50kgs on earth, what would be his weight on planet mars?

50kg is not his weight but his mass. His weight on earth is 500 Newtons.
On mars it would be 50 * gravity force on mars (it would be lower than on earth)

The mass of an object or individual remains the same where-ever it is in the universe. The only thing that changes is the gravitational field strength which in the case of Mars is about 2.5 times less than that on Earth. Therefore a human being of mass 50kgs would 'weigh' approximately 19kgs on Mars.

He is the same everywhere. His relative mass in relation to gravity is what changes. On mars assuming he has a really good space suit he weighs 19 kgs on mars

This is pure guesswork!
weight calculation on Mars
Tricky question
Hmmmmmmm ......
depends on the gas /air pressures
and the gravitational pull.
Now let me see what type of scales ,
are required here .
The little green men,
are of no help as they, are so very shy ,
so we would not be able to compare,
their puny weight with ours .
so fiddling with my calculator +++
I give in, to the wise mathematicians here
Regretfully , I have come, to NO coherent conclusion
