coin problem

I believe it should be c but key says a Coin is in free fall so there's no pseudo force or anything ,only g in both the cases. In case 2 the elevator is moving so essentially the distance travelled by coin in ground frame is reduced

how is it only g in both cases ? In case 2 it can be considered that the left is moving with uniform acc a let's say it take t1 to reach the floor when it is at rest and t2 when it is moving with uniform acc in this way the answer is gonna be c due to pseudo force either lowering or increasing the effective acc downwards but considering moving uniformly means uniform velocity there will be only g in both cases and no pseudo and if there is no pseudo the eff acc remains g and the time taken in both cases comes out to be equal option b that is a can't be the answer in any case

Why can’t we consider it as uniform velocity?

yeah i got your point in short if life is moving up there is initial accn of coin in upwards dirn and as soon as its dropped it get g downward therefore g-a and vice versa for down same goes for intitial velocity ig yeah , i misread , got t1=t2 thanx shall i close @stormycloud or due you have any doubts ?

yep but that is when lift is moving with acc a and direction isn't specified no it doesn't uniform vel means no net acc g remains the only force this way taking same time to reach bottom of lift in both cases
