Question

Assertion (A): Only good planning is a solution to all problems.

Reason (R): Planning provides the basis for control.

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

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

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is False: While planning is important, saying it’s the only solution to all problems is incorrect. Other functions like organizing, directing, and controlling are equally important.
• Reason (R) is True: Planning does provide a basis for control by setting benchmarks against which performance is measured.
