Reproductive Health - 2 - Free Assertion & Reason Questions with Solutions

Barrier methods include the diaphragm, cervical cap, male condom, and female condom and spermicidal foam, sponges, and film. Unlike other methods of birth control, barrier methods these are used only during sexual intercourse.

Option D is correct.

Assertion is false. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines reproductive health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system, not merely the absence of disease. Emotional or mental ill-health therefore means the person does not satisfy the WHO criterion for reproductive health.

Reason is false. The reason claims that WHO made the assertion in the question. WHO's definition explicitly includes mental well-being; it does not state that someone with emotional imbalance is reproductively healthy. Thus the reason is not a correct statement of WHO policy.

Because both the assertion and the reason are false, both A and R are false and option D is the correct choice.

‘Saheli’ is considered as an improved of contractive for a human female because :

(i) It is a non-steroidal preparation.

(ii) It has lesser or no side effects.

(iii) It has a high contraceptive value.

(iv) It is once a week pill.

Step 1: Understand the Assertion
The assertion states that "Zero population growth should be achieved as early as possible to control human population."
- Explanation: Zero population growth (ZPG) refers to a situation where the number of births is equal to the number of deaths in a population, leading to a stable population size. Achieving ZPG can help manage resources and reduce competition for them.

Step 2: Understand the Reason
The reason states that "This requires not two children per couple but a little more."
- Explanation: The reasoning suggests that to achieve ZPG, couples should have more than two children. However, this is misleading because having two children per couple is generally considered sufficient to replace the parents, assuming no significant mortality.

Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason
- The assertion is true because achieving ZPG is indeed important for controlling population growth.
- The reason is false because two children per couple are typically sufficient to maintain population stability, not more.

Step 4: Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- The assertion is true.
- The reason is false.
- Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false.

Final Answer
The correct option is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false.
