Hint:

Taylor divided work into: \[ \mathrm{Planning\ Work} \] and \[ \mathrm{Execution\ Work} \] under Functional Foremanship.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: According to F.W. Taylor's Functional Foremanship, work is divided into: \[ \mathrm{Planning\ Work} \] and \[ \mathrm{Execution\ Work} \] People with higher intelligence, technical knowledge, and analytical ability are generally assigned planning activities. People with energy and physical strength are assigned execution work.

Step 1: Identify the role requiring intelligence and technical mastery.
Planning activities require:
• Technical knowledge
• Intelligence
• Analytical ability Thus: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{Planning}} \]

Step 2: Identify the role requiring energy and good health.
Execution work involves practical implementation and physical effort. Thus: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{Execution}} \]

Step 3: Identify the correct option.
Therefore, the correct sequence is: \[ \mathrm{Planning,\ Execution} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(A)}} \]
