Controlling

Easy

Which of the following points represents the correct relationship between planning and controlling?

(A) Planning and controlling are separable twins of management.

(B) Planning and controlling are inseparable twins of management.

(C) Controlling could be accomplished without planning.

(D) Planning without controlling is meaningless.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(B) and (D) only

(A and (D) only

(B), (C) and (D) only

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> (B) and (D) only - This correctly identifies that planning and controlling are inseparable twins and that planning without controlling is meaningless.

Option 2 -> (A) and (D) only - This is incorrect because statement (A) claims they are "separable" twins, which contradicts the fundamental relationship between planning and controlling.

Option 3 -> (B), (C) and (D) only - This is incorrect because statement (C) suggests controlling can be done without planning, which is impossible as you need plans to measure performance against.

Option 4 -> (C) and (D) only - This is incorrect because statement (C) is false; controlling requires plans as benchmarks for comparison.

Hence, Option 1: (B) and (D) only -> Planning and controlling are inseparable twins of management because they are interdependent functions - plans provide the standards for controlling, and controlling ensures plans are executed effectively. Planning without controlling is meaningless because without monitoring and corrective action, there's no way to ensure plans are implemented or objectives are achieved -> correct
