Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. A is true: management aims at efficient use of resources (doing the task at minimum cost). R is true: management must balance efficiency with effectiveness (completing the task on time).

  2. R adds that effectiveness must be balanced too, but it does not explain why management is concerned with efficiency, so it is not the correct explanation. Option (B).
