Answer:

Both the objects A and B will have the same acceleration.

Explanation :

The objects will have the same acceleration as both are under free fall condition. When objects are under the free fall condition, the only force that acts on the object is its weight.

Weight is the force acting on a body of some mass, and the formula for finding the weight of a body is- Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity(g).

Therefore, here the different weight is due to the difference masses of both bodies, and not due to the different acceleration values.
