Correct Answer: The assertion is correct, the reason is incorrect.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) The assertion is correct, the reason is incorrect.

The assertion that scientific management principles aim to optimize worker output is correct. Scientific management principles, as advocated by Frederick Taylor, focus on optimizing productivity and efficiency in the workplace through various methods such as time and motion studies, standardized work processes, and incentives to increase output.

The reason provided, stating that it does not promote standardization and specialization in tasks, is incorrect. Scientific management does indeed promote standardization and specialization in tasks to streamline processes and enhance productivity.

Therefore, while the assertion is correct in stating the aim of scientific management principles, the reason provided is incorrect as it contradicts the fundamental principles of scientific management.
