Mg-Ma=1/2(Ma-Mg),
2Mg-2Ma=Ma-Mg,
3Mg=3Ma,
a=g

Formula for Tension (T) = mg +ma
where:
T=Tension
m= mass of an object
a= acceleration
therefore:
1/2 = mg + ma
ma= 2mg, where m= constant (cancelled)
Acceleration (a) = 2g
ANSWER: D (none of the above)

T = m x g + m x a
where:
T = Tension
m = mass of body
g = gravitational force
a = acceleration
therefore:
T = 1/2
1/2 = mg + ma
ma = 2mg
a =2g
Answer: D (None of These)

It's B.

1/2 upward = Downward.
1/2 m(g+a) = mg-ma,
mg+ma = 2mg-2ma,
mg =3ma,
g = 3a,
a = g/3.

Lift moving up
T=mg +ma
Lift moving down
T=mg-ma

T down = 0.5 T up
0.5 mg+0.5ma=mg-ma
a=g/3
