$A$ balloon of total mass $M$ and a fixed size starts coming down with an acceleration $f$ $(f < g)$. The fraction of the total mass of the balloon which must be dropped from it so that it starts going up with an acceleration of $f$ (assuming negligible air resistance) is

  • A
    $\frac{f}{g + f}$
  • B
    $\frac{2f}{g + f}$
  • C
    $\frac{g + f}{f}$
  • D
    $\frac{2f}{g + 2f}$
