As we learnt in

Lift accelerating down with 'a' -

V= variable

$a

$mg-R=ma$

$R=m(g-a)$

- wherein

Apparent weight  $<$  Actual weight

Force exerted by the block A on the block B is

$N=m(g-a)=0.5(10-2)$

$N=0.5\times8=4N$

Option 1)

Earth’s kinetic energy remains constant

Option 2)

Earth’s angular momentum remains constant

This option is correct.

Option 3)
