Answer 1

$.validator.addMethod('filesize', function (value, element, arg) {
            var minsize=1000; // min 1kb
            if((value>minsize)&&(value<=arg)){
                return true;
            }else{
                return false;
            }
        });

        $("#myform" ).validate({
            rules: {
                file_upload:{
                    required:true,
                    accept:"application/pdf,image/jpeg,image/png",
                    filesize: 200000   //max size 200 kb
                }
            },messages: {
                file_upload:{
                    filesize:" file size must be less than 200 KB.",
                    accept:"Please upload .jpg or .png or .pdf file of notice.",
                    required:"Please upload file."
                }
            },
            submitHandler: function(form) {
                form.submit();
            }
        });

Min 1 kb to max 200 kb file size and it is tested
