Correct Answer:
Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false.
Solution : The correct answer is (b) Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is generally true as external sources of recruitment, such as advertising, job fairs, and recruitment agencies, can incur costs. However, Statement 2 is false because external sources of recruitment are often associated with costs, and they may not always be considered cost-effective, especially compared to internal sources or methods.
