Option 3: The assertion is correct, the reason is incorrect.
Option 4: The assertion is incorrect, the reason is correct.
Correct Answer: Both are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation.
Solution : The correct answer is (b) Both are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation.
The assertion that the principle of "Division of Labor" increases the adaptability of an organization is correct. Division of Labor typically involves breaking down tasks into specialized, repetitive parts to improve efficiency, but it may not necessarily directly increase adaptability.
The reason provided, stating that it allows employees to focus on specific tasks, reducing the learning curve for new responsibilities, is also correct. Division of Labor can indeed reduce the learning curve for specific tasks, making employees more proficient in their specialized roles. However, this doesn't directly translate to organizational adaptability, which is more about how well an organization can adjust and respond to changes and challenges.
Both the assertion and the reason are correct in their own statements, but the reason doesn't directly explain the assertion.
