Correct answer: (B)
a merit rating system

14. In order that linear programming techniques provide valid results

  1. relations between factors must be linear (positive)
  2. relations between factors must be linear (negative)
  3. (a) or (b)
  4. only one factor should change at a time, others remaining constant
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (C)
(a) or (b)

15. In queuing theory, the nature of the waiting situation can be studied and analysed mathematically if

  1. complete details'of items in, waiting line are known
  2. arrival and waiting times are known and can be grouped to form a waiting line model
  3. all variables and constants are known and form a linear equation
  4. the laws governing arrivals, service times, and the order in which the arriving units are taken into source are known
  5. all of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
the laws governing arrivals, service times, and the order in which the arriving units are taken into source are known

16. In the Emerson efficiency plan, a worker receives only his daily wage and no bonus is paid till his efficiency reaches

  1. 50&
  2. 661&
  3. 75&

Correct answer: (B)
past poor workers

  3. to verify mathematical results
  4. all of the above
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
that can't be analysed mathematically

20. One of the basic essentials of an incentive plan is that

  1. a differential piece rate system should exist
  2. minimum wages should be guaranteed
  3. provide incentive to group efficiency performance
  4. all standards should be based on optimum standards of production
  5. all standards should be based on time studies.

Correct answer: (E)
all standards should be based on time studies.
