A body of mass "m" is placed on an elevator. When the elevator accelerates upward and downward with the same magnitude 'a', the corresponding normal reactions on the body are `N_1 and N_2` respectively. The acceleration of the elevator

A

`a=(N_1 +N_2)/(2m)`

B

`a = (N_1N_2)/(2m)`

C

`a=(N_1 -N_2)/(2m)`

D

`a=(2N_1 -N_2)/(2m)`
