Match List-I with List-II
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| Decision | Factor affecting the decision |
| (A) Detailed Statement | (I) Method |
| (B) Prescribed Way | (II) Rule |
| (C) What is to be done? | (III) Programme |
| (D) Routine steps | (IV) Procedure |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV): Incorrectly matches Detailed Statement with Method and Prescribed Way with Rule, which doesn't align with management terminology.
Option 2 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV): Incorrectly matches Detailed Statement with Method and Prescribed Way with Programme, which is conceptually misaligned.
Option 3 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV): Correctly matches Detailed Statement with Programme, Prescribed Way with Method, "What is to be done?" with Rule, and Routine steps with Procedure.
Option 4 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II): Incorrectly matches Prescribed Way with Procedure and "What is to be done?" with Method, reversing key concepts.
Hence, Option 3 -> Programme is a detailed statement/plan of action; Method is a prescribed way of doing things; Rule determines what is to be done (or not done); and Procedure consists of routine sequential steps. This matching correctly aligns each decision-making element with its corresponding factor. -> correct
