Given that the acceleration of an elevator is 1/2 g upward.
The reading on the scale of the elevator is the net external force acting on the elevator.
Let the force F acting on the elevator as shown,
By using Newton's 2nd law,
where, is the net force acting on the elevator.
m is the mass of the elevator,
a is the acceleration of the elevator, as given a=1/2 g upward.
So,
So, the reading on the scale in the elevator is .
Hence, option (c) is correct.
