Detailed Solution

As the body is moving up with an acceleration of 'a'.

according to second law of motion we can conclude that there is a unbalanced force acting on the particle responsible for acceleration.

F=ma.

As the normal reaction needs to balance impart acceleration overcoming the gravitational force.

Normal force is given by N=m(g+a), so the apparent weight is more than the true weight of person.
