Question

Match the type of plan given in Column-I with its meaning in Column-II :

Choose the correct alternative from the following :

• A. a-(ii), b-(iv), c-(i), d-(iii)
• B. a-(iv), b-(ii), c-(i), d-(iii)
• C. a-(iv), b-(ii), c-(iii), d-(i)
• D. a-(iv), b-(i), c-(ii), d-(iii)

Hint:

Policy = General Guide.
Strategy = Comprehensive/Competitive Plan.
Method = Single step execution.
Programme = Detailed project roadmap.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the meaning of each type of plan involved.
A policy is a general statement that guides thinking and decisions in a certain direction, such as a no credit sale rule. A programme is a broader plan that bundles objectives, procedures, rules and resources for one project. A method lays out the one prescribed way of performing a specific step of a task, and a rule is a specific statement that permits or forbids an action, allowing no flexibility at all.
Step 2: Match each column-I plan type to its correct meaning.
Working through the definitions places policy with its guiding-statement meaning, programme with its detailed project meaning, method with its prescribed-way meaning, and rule with its permits-or-forbids meaning.
Step 3: Read off the combination that fits all four matches together.
Only one listed combination lines up every plan type with its correct meaning at once.
Final answer: Option 2, a-(iv), b-(ii), c-(i), d-(iii) is the correct matching.
