The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding contraception, we need to evaluate each of the four statements provided and determine which two are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement 1**: "Vasectomy involves cutting down of vas deferens in females." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for males where the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm) is cut and sealed to prevent sperm from entering the semen. In females, the equivalent procedure is called tubectomy, which involves cutting and sealing the fallopian tubes. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is **incorrect**. 2. **Evaluate Statement 2**: "Generally, chances of conception are nil until the mother breast-feeds the infant for a period of maximum up to six months." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. This phenomenon is known as lactational amenorrhea, where breastfeeding can suppress ovulation, leading to a natural form of contraception. The chances of conception are significantly reduced during this period. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Statement 3**: "Intrauterine devices like copper-T are very effective contraceptives." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) such as copper-T are effective contraceptives. They work by altering the uterine environment to prevent fertilization and implantation of the egg. - **Conclusion**: Statement 3 is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate Statement 4**: "Emergency contraceptive pills may be taken up to one week after coitus to prevent conception." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Emergency contraceptive pills are most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse. Some types may work up to 5 days, but they are not effective a week after coitus. - **Conclusion**: Statement 4 is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion: The two correct statements are: - Statement 2: "Generally, chances of conception are nil until the mother breast-feeds the infant for a period of maximum up to six months." - Statement 3: "Intrauterine devices like copper-T are very effective contraceptives." Thus, the correct answer is **Statements 2 and 3**.
