There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the options given below.

Assertion: Management is called an Exact Science.
Reasoning: Management deals with complex human behaviour which cannot be determined with accuracy.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

The principles of management have evolved over a period of time based on repeated experimentation and observation in different types of organisations. However, since management deals with human beings and human behaviour, the outcomes of these experiments are not capable of being accurately predicted or replicated. Therefore, management can be called an inexact science.
