A

$m\left( {1 - \frac{a}{g}} \right)$

B

$m\left( {1 + \frac{a}{g}} \right)$

C

$m$

D

$Zero$

The mass of a body measured by a physical balance in a lift at rest is found to be $m$. If the lift is going up with an acceleration $a$, its mass will be measured as

Mass measured by physical balance remains unaffected due to variation in acceleration due to gravity.
