To be perdantic weight = mass x acceleration by gravity.

Therefore the mass of the juggler is 4.8 kilograms, and the mass of each pin is 204 grams.

All ratios are the same when solving the problem though, and if you use the fundamentally correct values you will still come to the conclusion that (E) is the correct answer.
