  • An elevator is accelerating upwards with a constant acceleration a ms^-2 . If a coin is dropped in it by a passenger, then.

    A
    the coin starts to fall downwards instantaneously as observed by the passenger.
    B
    the coin starts to fall downwards instantaneously as observed by a ground observer.
    C
    first, coin continues to move up with same acceleration of a `ms^-2` for some time and then starts falling with gravitational acceleration as observed by a ground observer.
    D
    None of these
