ASSERTION REASON BASED QUESTIONS of Organising | Business Studies | Class 12 | CBSE


Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True.
23 Assertion (A): A large sized organisation can be totally decentralised.
Reason (R): As an organisation grows in size and complexity, there is tendency to
move towards decentralised decision-making. Complete centralisation would imply
concentration of all decision making functions at the apex of the management
hierarchy.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True
24 Assertion (A): Decentralisation is extending delegation to the lowest level.
Reason (R): Decentralisation refers to delegation of authority throughout all the
levels of the organisation. Decision making authority is shared with lower levels and
is consequently placed nearest to the points of action.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason R) is True.

25 Assertion (A): Delegation is considered essential for effective organising.
Reason (R): Delegation helps a manager to extend his area of operations as without
it, his activities would be restricted to only what he himself can do.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True.

26 Assertion (A): Decentralisation is a compulsory decision of the top management.
Reason (R): Decentralisation is done at the discretion of the top management.
Its purpose is to increase the role of the subordinates in the organisation by giving
them more autonomy.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True.

27 Assertion (A): Decentralisation must always be balanced with centralisation in areas
of major policy decisions.
Reason (R): Decentralisation recognises the decision maker’s need for autonomy.
The management, however, needs to carefully select those decisions which will be
pushed down to lower levels and those that will be retained for higher levels.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True.

28 Assertion (A): Decentralisation should be applied with caution by the top
management.
Reason (R): It can lead to organisational disintegration if the departments start
to operate on their own guidelines which may be contrary to the interest of the
organisation.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True.
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are False.
(c) Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is True.

29 Assertion (A): Delegation of authority is essential for effective operation of any
business organisation.
Reason (R): Accountability cannot be delegated or transferred.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True but Reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True
