Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Organising
Option (1) Planning — Incorrect. Planning would mean deciding the goal and the ways to reach it. The passage is about arranging the work, not choosing what to do.
Option (2) Directing — Incorrect. Directing means leading and motivating people while they work. The passage does not talk about this.
Option (3) Organising — Correct. Organising puts plans into action by clarifying jobs and working relationships. Rohan lists and divides the work, groups similar activities into units, gives the units to different prefects, and sets up a way for each prefect to report his data.
Option (4) Staffing — Incorrect. Staffing means finding and placing the right people in jobs. Rohan used the prefects who were already there; he did not recruit anyone.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Meaning … Organising can be defined as a process that initiates implementation of plans by clarifying jobs and working relationships and effectively deploying resources for attainment of identified and desired results (goals).” |
