Explanation:

If a lift or an elevator goes up with any acceleration a,then the man sitting in it experiences a larger weight than that of his original .
    Thus apparent weight =mg+ma(weight increased,
    If a lift comes down with a acceleration a than the man will experience lesser weight than the original
    If during coming downward the rope of the lift gets broken,then a free falling motion occurs and sitting man experience weight lessness.
