Question

Assertion (A): Mode of action of pills and implants/injectables is similar.
Reason (R): The effective period of pills is much longer as compared to implants/injectables.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Hint:

Pills are short-acting, implants/injectables offer long-term contraception.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Both pills and implants/injectables work by releasing hormones to prevent ovulation, hence their mode of action is similar. However, pills need to be taken daily while implants/injectables have a much longer effective period — so the Reason is false.
