Read the following statements and mark the correct option carefully.

Assertion: Delegation is compulsory policy decision.
Reasoning: Any individual can perform all tasks on his own.

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

The correct answer is option 3- Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion: Delegation is compulsory policy decision. THIS IS TRUE.
Reasoning: Any individual can perform all tasks on his own. THIS IS NOT TRUE as no individual can perform all tasks on his own.

Delegation refers to the downward transfer of authority from a superior to a subordinate. It is a pre-requisite to the efficient functioning of an organisation because it enables a manager to use his time on high priority activities. It also satisfies the subordinate’s need for recognition and provides them with opportunities to develop and exercise initiative. Delegation is a compulsory act because no individual can perform all tasks on his own. It is a process followed to share tasks. 

Thus, assertion is true but reason is not.
