As the lift is coming in downward directions, displacement will be negative. We have to see
whether the motion is accelerating or retarding.
We know that due to downward motion, displacement will be negative. When the lift reaches 4th floor and is about to stop hence, motion is retarding in nature hence, 
.
As displacement is in negative direction, velocity will also be negative i.e. 
.
This can be shown on the adjacent graph.
