Question

A person in a lift is holding a water jar, which has a small hole at the lower end of its side. When the lift is at rest, the water jet coming out of the hole hits the floor of the lift at a distance d of 1.2 m from the person. In the following, state of the lift's motion is given in List-1 and the distance where the water jet hits the floor of the lift is given in List-II. Match the statements from List-I with those in List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.

List I List II
(P) Lift is acceleration vertically up. (1) d = 1.2 m
(Q) Lift is accelerating vertically down with an acceleration less than the gravitational acceleration  (2) d > 1.2 m
(R) Lift is moving vertically up with constant speed. (3) d < 1.2 m
(S) Lift is falling freely. (4) No water leaks out of the jar
