Which one of the following is  not true?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Human resources cannot yield an output that may be far greater than what the value of their input warrants.
This statement is false because the fundamental property of Human Resources is their ability to produce a "synergistic" or "creative" surplus. Unlike machines, which follow the laws of thermodynamics (where energy output cannot exceed energy input), humans can innovate, collaborate, and apply intelligence to generate value far beyond the cost of their labor or training. This makes human capital the only resource that is appreciating rather than depreciating when utilized effectively.
INFORMATION BOOSTER
· Appreciating Asset: While machines wear out, humans gain experience and skills over time, increasing their productive value.
· Synergy: Through teamwork and leadership, the collective output of human resources can be greater than the sum of individual inputs (1+1>2).
· Mind Power: The shift toward a "Knowledge Economy" emphasizes cognitive abilities, creativity, and emotional intelligence over physical labor.
· Elasticity: Human potential is virtually limitless through continuous learning, whereas material resources have fixed capacities.
ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE
· (a) is true because material resources (like iron or fuel) are passive and governed by physics; they cannot create new value on their own.
· (b) is true because training and development lead to exponential growth in a person's capability to solve complex problems.
· (d) is true as automation and AI have transitioned the workforce from manual muscle power to strategic and creative mind power.
