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 involve training and development to enhance employee skills is correct. Scientific management principles, developed by Frederick Taylor and others, emphasize training and development to improve efficiency and productivity through better skills and knowledge among employees.

The reason provided, stating that it decreases employee efficiency and increases errors, is incorrect. Scientific management principles are designed to increase efficiency and reduce errors through systematic approaches, standardization of processes, and enhanced skills acquired through training and development. The reason does not align with the actual intent and outcomes of scientific management principles.
