Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Other managerial functions also come into the picture at the step of implementing the plan.
Reason (R): Implementing a plan involves organising the labour and the machinery that the plan requires.
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): Other managerial functions also come into the picture at the step of implementing the plan. — True. Implementing means putting the plan into action, and other functions are needed for that.
Reason (R): Implementing a plan involves organising the labour and the machinery that the plan requires. — True. A plan to raise production needs more labour and more machinery, and these must be organised.
Why R explains A?
R says the plan needs labour and machinery to be arranged. Arranging them is organising, which is another function of management. So, because of this need, other functions come into the picture, as A states.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “(vi) Implementing the plan: This is the step where other managerial functions also come into the picture. The step is concerned with putting the plan into action, i.e., doing what is required. For example, if there is a plan to increase production then more labour, more machinery will be required. This step would also involve organising for labour and purchase of machinery.” |
