Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
| LIST-I Examples | LIST-II Contraceptive methods |
|---|---|
| A. Multiload 375 | I. Non medicated IUD |
| B. Lippes loop | II. Hormone releasing IUD |
| C. LNG-20 | III. Barrier method |
| D. Vaults | IV. Copper releasing IUD |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
(A) Multiload 375 — this matches (IV) Copper releasing IUD. It releases copper ions. They lower the motility and the fertilising power of the sperms. Cu T and Cu7 belong to the same group.
(B) Lippes loop — this matches (I) Non medicated IUD. It is a plastic device placed in the uterus. It releases no drug, so it works only as a physical device.
(C) LNG-20 — this matches (II) Hormone releasing IUD. It releases the hormone levonorgestrel. This makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms.
(D) Vaults — this matches (III) Barrier method. Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are rubber barriers placed over the cervix. They stop the sperms from reaching the ovum.
Note: A similar question was also asked in CUET (UG) 2026 on 20-05-2026 (Slot 1), and in CUET (UG) 2025 on 22-05-2025 (Slot 1) and on 20-05-2025 (Slot 2).
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 – “… 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.”
