Accepted Answer

Bonjour Shekhar,
The spelling of 'repesons' is correct. It is a derivative of the verb 'peser'. The prefix re- is added to mean 'again' -> repeser = to weigh again
A lot of other French verbs have the same equivalent:
mesurer = to measure -> remesurer = to remeasure
payer = to pay -> repayer = to pay again for [sth]
décorer = to decorate -> redécorer = to redecorate 
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
