Answer 1

Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is False: In the planning process, a manager is required to make assumptions about the future. These are called planning premises, which are essential for making realistic plans.
• Reason (R) is True: Planning is indeed about the future, which is inherently uncertain, and that’s why assumptions are necessary.
