Match the decision type (List I) with its description (List II). List I: (P) Programmed decision, (Q) Non-programmed decision, (R) Strategic decision, (S) Routine operational decision List II: (1) Novel, unstructured problem needing judgement, (2) Repetitive problem handled by set rules, (3) Long-term, affects the whole organisation's direction, (4) Day-to-day, taken at lower levels

The correct matching is P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4. Programmed decisions are repetitive and rule-based, non-programmed ones are novel and need judgement, strategic decisions set long-term organisational direction, and routine operational decisions are taken daily at lower levels.

  2. BP-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4
  3. CP-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3
  4. DP-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4

Explanation

Programmed decisions follow set rules for recurring problems (P-2). Non-programmed decisions deal with unique, unstructured problems (Q-1). Strategic decisions shape long-term direction (R-3), and routine operational decisions are day-to-day and made at lower levels (S-4). Option B swaps P and Q.
