Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Can any system stop deviations from ever happening?

Hint 2

What does controlling do with deviations?

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. The Assertion is false: controlling cannot prevent deviations altogether. The Reason is true: it minimises deviations by actions that reduce their recurrence.

  2. So A is false and R is true. Option (D).

    1 mark

Answer: (D) Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
