| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| Examples | Contraceptive methods |
| (A) CuT | (I) Barrier |
| (B) Saheli | (II) Intra uterine devices |
| (C) Tubectomy | (III) Oral |
| (D) Cervical caps | (IV) Surgical |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
(A) CuT — this matches (II) Intra uterine devices. CuT is a copper-releasing device placed in the uterus. The copper ions stop sperms from moving and fertilising the egg.
(B) Saheli — this matches (III) Oral. Saheli is a non-steroidal pill taken by mouth, once a week.
(C) Tubectomy — this matches (IV) Surgical. A small cut is made in the abdomen and the fallopian tubes are cut and tied. This is permanent sterilisation in women.
(D) Cervical caps — this matches (I) Barrier. The cap covers the cervix, so sperms physically cannot enter the uterus.
NCERT Extract:
Contraceptive Methods – “… These Intra Uterine Devices are presently available as the non-medicated IUDs (e.g., Lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and the hormone releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20) (Figure 3.2).”
Contraceptive Methods – “… Pills are very effective with lesser side effects and are well accepted by the females. Saheli –the new oral contraceptive for the females contains a non-steroidal preparation. It is a ‘once a week’ pill with very few side effects and high contraceptive value.”
Contraceptive Methods – “… Sterilisation procedure in the male is called ‘vasectomy’ and that in the female, ‘tubectomy’. In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum (Figure 3.4a) whereas in tubectomy, a small part of the fallopian tube is removed (Figure 3.4b) or tied up through a small incision in the abdomen or through vagina. These techniques are highly effective but their reversibility is very poor.”
Contraceptive Methods – “… Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are also barriers made of rubber that are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus. They prevent conception by blocking the entry of sperms through the cervix.”
