The block is at rest with respect to the box which is accelerated with respect to the ground. Hence, the acceleration of the block with respect to the ground is a downward. The forces on the block are
i. Mg downward (by the earth) and
ii. N upward (by the floor).
The equation of motion of the block is therefore
`Mg - N = Ma`
If N = Mg/4, the above equation gives `a=3g/4.` The block and hence the box should descend with an acceleration `3g/4`.
