Hi Irina,
Yes you are correct. Both of these phrasal verbs could fit into this sentence.
Try out would indicate a period of testing or experimentation and work out would indicate that the government is trying to come up with a new scheme to help the people who are starting out in business.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I chose a) too but now I feel 'try out a new scheme' would sound a slightly better and naturaler than 'work out a new scheme', can I feel this way?

I guess, try out a new scheme and work out a new scheme have different meanings. the former means to introduce the scheme into practice and find out how it will work in practice and the latter means to come up with the idea of the scheme and develop it so it can be applied in practice
Am I spot on? |

Hi,
Let's look at the options:
(a) work out suggests calculate (b) try out suggests try as an experiment (c) find out suggests discover (d) run out suggests no longer have a supply of.
The idea behind the sentence is that the government wants to encourage people to run their own businesses. This is a new scheme which the government has designed and they want to see if it will attract/encourage people. You wouldn't use 'find out' because the government has already created the scheme. It follows therefore that they want to try out the scheme and see what success it will have.
