Pressure ,P = Rho*g*h.

According to the condition.

When it is moving vertically up, g = ( 9.8 - 9.8/2).
when it is moving vertically down, g = ( 9.8 + 9.8/2).
Then Ratio = .83*( 9.8+9.8/2)*2 : .83*( 9.8-9.8/2)*2.
So it must me 3 : 1.

Good job @Alo.

Ratio of the pressures moving vertically up and down should be 1 : 3 not 3 : 1.

Effective g = g+a for upward motion.
= g-a for downward motion.
So ans = 3 : 1.

Correct @Abhishek.

The given answer is correct. It will be 3 by 1.

When the body will go upward acceleration will be G+a and when the body will go downward acceleration will be G-a.
