$A$ lift is accelerating downward with an acceleration $a$. $A$ man inside the lift throws a ball upward with an acceleration $a_0$ relative to the lift $(a_0 < a)$. What is the acceleration of the ball as observed by an observer on the Earth?

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement-$II$: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
