Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Alienation — this matches (III) No joy derived from work. Marx called it alienation when people do not enjoy work and see it as something they have to do only in order to survive.
(B) Sensex/Nifty — this matches (IV) Indicators of rise or fall in the share of companies. The Sensex is the indicator for the shares of the major companies at the Bombay Stock Exchange, and the Nifty for those at the National Stock Exchange.
(C) Post-Fordism — this matches (I) Flexible production system. Instead of mass production of goods at a centralised location (Fordism), production has moved to flexible production at dispersed locations.
(D) Taylorism — this matches (II) System of work under management control. Taylorism is the system invented by Taylor, involving the break up of work under management control.
NCERT (2025-26): “5.1 Images of Industrial Society … Industrialisation involves a detailed division of labour. People often do not see the end result of their work because they are producing only one small part of a product. The work is often repetitive and exhausting. Yet, even this is better than having no work at all, i.e., being unemployed. Marx called this situation alienation, when people do not enjoy work, and see it as something they have to do only in order to survive, and even that survival depends on whether the technology has room for any human labour.” “Globalisation and a New International Division of Labour … This flexibility of labour often works in favour of the producers. Instead of mass production of goods at a centralised location (Fordism), we have moved to a system of flexible production at dispersed locations (post-Fordism).” “Glossary … Sensex or Nifty index: These are indicators of the rise or fall in the share of the major companies. Sensex is the indicator of the shares of the major companies at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) while Nifty is the indicator for the companies at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) located in New Delhi.…” “…Taylorism: System invented by Taylor, involving break up of work under management control.…” |
