Imagine a person standing on a weighing machine placed inside an elevator. The elevator first accelerates,then moves with a constant velocity,and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and minimum weight recorded are $80 \ kg$ and $64 \ kg$,respectively. Find out the true mass of that person considering $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. (in $kg$)

  • A
    $70$
  • B
    $85$
  • C
    $72$
  • D
    $65$
