The weight of a man in a lift moving in an upward direction with an acceleration '$a$' is $660 \text{ N}$. When the lift moves in the downward direction with the same acceleration, his weight is found to be $380 \text{ N}$. The real weight of the man when the lift is at rest is: (in $\text{ N}$)

  • A
    $400$
  • B
    $460$
  • C
    $520$
  • D
    $640$
