Question

Assertion (A): The principles of Harmony, not discord & concept of Mental Revolution though appear to be different yet they do convey similar meaning.

Reason (R): The essence of both is the underlying spirit of mutual co-operation.

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 the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is True: Both “Harmony, not discord” and “Mental Revolution” are Taylor’s principles that focus on improving relations between workers and management. They seem different but convey a similar idea of improving relationships.
• Reason (R) is also True: Both principles emphasize mutual cooperation rather than conflict between management and workers.

Therefore, the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
