Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): While analysing deviations, a manager should identify the exact causes of the deviations.
Reason (R): Without the exact causes of deviations, an appropriate corrective action might not be possible.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Assertion (A): While analysing deviations, a manager should identify the exact causes of the deviations. — True. After spotting the deviations that need attention, the manager must find their exact causes.
Reason (R): Without the exact causes of deviations, an appropriate corrective action might not be possible. — True. If the cause is unknown, the manager cannot pick the right remedy.
Why R explains A?
Corrective action has to remove the cause of a deviation. If the cause is not known, the manager may correct the wrong thing, such as training workers when a machine is at fault (R). So the exact cause must be found first, and this is why A is needed.
