Question

Assertion (A): Controlling is the primary function of every manager.

Reason (R): The controlling finds out how far actual performance deviates from standards, analyses the causes of such deviations and attempts to take corrective actions based on the same.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

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

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

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is true because controlling is an important and continuous responsibility for every manager.

• Reason (R) correctly describes the steps of controlling.

• However, R does not explain why controlling is called the primary function—it just states what controlling involves.
  So, both are true, but R is not the reason for A.
