Solution

The correct option is C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
While moving up with some acceleration in a lift, pseudo force acts downwards.
Hence N=mg+ma
N>mg
Statement I is true.
Statement II is false, as N>mg only when lift is moving up with acceleration or moving down with deceleration.
