Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

Both Assertion and Reason are true and correct explanation


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and correct explanation.

Depreciation of a country's currency can indeed help boost its export-oriented industries. The Reason provided correctly explains that a weaker currency makes a country's exports more affordable and competitive in the global market. When a country's currency depreciates (decreases in value) relative to other currencies, its exports become relatively cheaper for foreign buyers. This can lead to an increase in export demand, as foreign buyers find the country's goods and services more affordable compared to those of other countries. The competitiveness of the country's exports improves, which can benefit its export-oriented industries.

Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason provides a correct explanation for why depreciation of a country's currency can help boost its export-oriented industries.

Option 3: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Option 4: Assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

The assertion is true. Delegation does indeed involve assigning both responsibility and authority. Responsibility is the duty to perform a task, and authority is the power to make decisions and take actions related to the task.

However, the reason is false. Delegation, while involving responsibility and authority, doesn't directly enhance job security. Job security is influenced by various factors such as organizational stability, performance, economic conditions, and industry trends. Delegation might indirectly contribute to job security by improving employee skills and engagement, but it's not a direct cause of enhanced job security.
