Explanation:
The Boy gains Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE). Whether he walks upto the 4th floor or uses a lift to take him to the 4th floor, he will gain the same amount of GPE because
GPE = m x g x h
m: Mass of the Person
g : Acceleration due to gravity
h : Perpendicular distance of person from Ground
SInce h will be same in both the cases GPE will be same...
