Match the type of plan with its description: (A) Policy (B) Procedure (C) Rule (D) Programme. (1) Specific, rigid action with no discretion, such as 'no smoking in the godown' (2) General guide for decision-making within limits (3) Chronological sequence of steps for performing a task (4) Integrated plan of goals, policies, steps and resources for a project

The correct matching is A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4. A policy is a general guide to decisions, a procedure is a chronological sequence of steps, a rule is a rigid directive allowing no discretion, and a programme is an integrated plan for a project.

  3. CA-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
  4. DA-1, B-3, C-2, D-4

Explanation

A policy guides thinking in decisions and leaves some discretion. A procedure lists steps in time order. A rule is a rigid specific directive with no deviation. A programme combines goals, policies, procedures, rules and resources for a project. So A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4.
