Three blocks \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) of mass \(3M\), \(2M\) and \(M\) respectively are suspended vertically with the help of springs \({PQ}\) and \({TU}\) and a string \({RS}\) as shown in Figure. The acceleration of blocks \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are \(a_{1} , a_{2}~ \text{and}~ a_{3}\) respectively.
                             

The value of acceleration \(a_{1}\) at the moment string \({RS}\) is cut will be: 
1. \(g\) downward
2. \(g\) upward
3. more than \(g\) downward
4. zero
