| (Name of Study) | (Description) |
| A. Method Study | I. A person is bound to feel tired physically and mentally if she/he does not rest while working. |

| C. Time Study | III. The objective of this study is to find out one best way of doing the job |
| D. Fatigue Study | IV. Unnecessary movements are sought to be eliminated so that it takes less time to complete the job efficiently |
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-II, D-I
(A) Method Study — this matches (III) The objective of this study is to find out one best way of doing the job. Method study looks at the whole process, from raw material to finished product, to find the best method.
(B) Motion Study — this matches (IV) Unnecessary movements are sought to be eliminated so that it takes less time to complete the job efficiently. It studies the worker’s movements, such as lifting and sitting, and removes the useless ones.
(C) Time Study — this matches (II) The objective of this study is to determine the number of workers to be employed; frame suitable incentive schemes and determine labour costs. It fixes the standard time for a job, and staff numbers, incentives and labour cost are worked out from that time.
(D) Fatigue Study — this matches (I) A person is bound to feel tired physically and mentally if she/he does not rest while working. It decides how long and how often the worker should rest, so that he can work again with full energy.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Method Study The objective of method study is to find out one best way of doing the job. …” “Motion Study Motion study refers to the study of movements like lifting, putting objects, sitting and changing positions, etc., which are undertaken while doing a typical job. Unnecessary movements are sought to be eliminated so that it takes less time to complete the job efficiently. …” “Time Study It determines the standard time taken to perform a well-defined job. Time measuring devices are used for each element of task. The standard time is fixed for the whole of the task by taking several readings. The method of time study will depend upon volume and frequency of the task, the cycle time of the operation and time measurement costs. The objective of time study is to determine the number of workers to be employed; frame suitable incentive schemes and determine labour costs.” “Fatigue Study A person is bound to feel tired physically and mentally if she/he does not rest while working. The rest intervals will help one to regain stamina and work again with the same capacity. …” |
