Question

Assertion (A): Pregnancy can be prevented by adopting a method or procedure by which sperms produced during copulation between a man and woman canan be prevented from meeting the ovum and fertilising it.

Reason (R): Vasectomy and tubectomy are the two barrier methods of preventing pregnancy which do not allow sperms to meet ovum by acting as a barrier between them.

पर्याय

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Pregnancy is prevented by methods that prevent the sperm from meeting and fertilising the ovum. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.

Vasectomy and tubectomy are surgical (permanent sterilisation) methods, not barrier methods (such as condoms or diaphragms). Therefore, Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
