A

$g,\,g$

B

$g - a,\,g - a$

C

$g - a,\,g$

D

$a,\,g$

A lift is moving down with acceleration $a$. A man in the lift drops a ball inside the lift. The acceleration of the ball as observed by the man in the lift and a man standing stationary on the ground are respectively

Due to relative motion, acceleration of ball observed by observer in lift $= (g -a)$ and for man on earth the acceleration remains $g$.
