The correct answer is:
the weight of aluminium is half the weight of steel
In air, force of gravity acts on metals. Thus, these have their actual weight. Atomic weight of steel, ie, iron is 56 and that of aluminium is $27 .$ Hence, it can be said that in air the weight of aluminium is half the weight of steel.
