Assertion :- Two objects of equal mass rest on the opposite pan of an arm balance. Scale will remains balanced, when it is accelerated up or down in a lift. Reason :- Both masses experience equal fictitious forces magnitude as well as direction.

Two equal masses are kept on the pans of a simple balance in a lift acceleration upward. Then.

When two solids are put in two pans of a beam balance, they exactly balance each other in air. When the two solids are completely immersed in water alongwith pans of balance, then they no longer balance each other. Which of the following is the incorrect statement about these balls?
