Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Apparent weight is the weight you 'feel'.
  2. Think about it! When you are falling, you feel weightlessness. Hence Apparent Weight is 0.
  3. When in an elevator with moving upwards with increasing speed, you feel heavier. Hence more is the Apparent Weight!

Thus, it is not true that always the apparent weight will be greater than its true weight.

Hence, this statement is false.
