Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Oral contraceptive pills contain either progesterone only or a combination of progesterone and estrogen. These pills act in four ways:
(i) Inhibition of ovulation.
(ii) Inhibition of motility and secretory activity of oviducts (Fallopian tubes).
(iii) Changes in cervical mucus impairing its ability to allow passage and transport of sperms.
(iv) Alteration in uterine endometrium to make it unsuitable for implantation.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.

Concepts Used:
Birth Control
The execution of different methods or tools which may include drugs, surgical procedures in either males, females, or both to prevent conception is known as birth control.
Types of Birth Control Methods:
There are different types of birth control methods such as;
- The natural way of birth control
- The barrier method
- The Hormonal method
- Intrauterine devices or IUD
- Other surgical methods
Side effects of contraception:
- Every type of contraception has side effects.
- For females, the IUD has the least intensity of side effects. It is a long-term method that can be taken out at any time.
- For males, the most common, cheapest, and very easy to use is the male condom. The only drawback, it is not 100% efficient in preventing pregnancy.
