The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
If a man inside a lift which is falling freely i.e. with acceleration $g$, the relative acceleration of the man with respect to the lift $=$ acceleration of man with respect to earth $(g)$
- acceleration of lift with respect to earth, $g$ $=g-g=0$. Assertion is correct.
The statement given by the Reason is correct but not what is given is the Reason for the assertion.
