A person standing on the floor of an elevator drops as coin. The coin reaches the floor of the elevator in a time `t_1` if the elevator is stationary and in the `t_2` if it is moving uniformly. Then

A

`t_1=t_2`

B

`t_1ltt_2`

C

`t_1gtt_2`

D

`t_1ltt_2 or t_1gtt_2` depending on whether the lift is going up or down.
