उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) केवल 1
A circular sends the same standard message to many people at once — that is why it is cheap. Individual matters such as appraisals and increments go in personal, confidential letters, not circulars.
- ✓ 1. A circular goes to many recipients — staff, customers or members — at once.
- ✗ 2. Circulars carry standard, identical content; customised content belongs in individual letters.
- ✗ 3. Appraisals and increments concern individuals and are confidential, so they are conveyed by personal letters.
- ✗ 4. One message reproduced for many readers makes circulars more cost-effective, not less.
Remember · Circular = one standard message to many; anything individual or confidential needs a personal letter.
