Assertion: The apparent weight of a person standing in a lift which moves upwards with uniform acceleration is always higher than his true weight.
Reason: The weight (on the earth surface) always acts downwards.

A

If both assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a corrrect explanation of the Asserion.

B

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not correct explanation of the Assertion.
