A rope ladder with a length l carrying a man with a mass m at its end is attached to the basket of balloon with a mass M. The entire system is in equilibrium in the air. As the man climbs up the ladder into the balloon, the balloon descends by a height h. Then the potential energy of the man
  1. increases by mg (l – h)
  2. increases by mgl
  3. increase by mgh
  4. increases by mg (2l – h)

Answer
