  Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
  In the last century an all-round development in various fields significantly improved the quality of life of the people. However, increased health facilities along with better living conditions had an explosive impact on the growth of population. The world population which was around 2 billion (2000 million) in 1900 rocketed to about 6 billions by 2000 and 7.2 billion in 2011. A similar trend was observed in India too. Our population which was approximately 350 million at the time of our independence reached close to the billion mark by 2000 and crossed 1 billion in May 2000. That means, every sixth person in the world is an Indian. According to latest census 2011 our population is 1.21 billion. A rapid decline in death rate, maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) as well as an increase in number of people in reproducible age are probable reasons for this. Through our RCH programmes, though we could bring down the population growth rate, it was only marginal. According to the 2001 census report, the population growth rate was still around 1.7 percent, i.e., 17/1000/year, a rate at which our population could double in 33 years. According to be 2011 census report, the population growth rate was less than 2 percent i.e., 20/1000/year, a rate at which our population could increase rapidly.
  POPULATION STATISTICS IN INDIA
  S. No	Statistics	1901	2001	2011
  1.	Death Rate (Mortality)	44.1/1000	8.7/1000	7.48/1000
  2.	Birth Rate (Natality)	45.8/1000	26.1/100	20.97/1000
  3.	Rate of Population Growth	0.17%	1.7%	1.35%
  Such an alarming growth rate could lead to an absolute scarcity of even the basic requirements, i.e., food, shelter and clothing, in spite of significant progress made in those areas. Therefore, the government was forced to take up serious measures to check this population growth rate. The most important step to overcome this problem is to motivate smaller families by using various contraceptive methods. You might have seen advertisements in the media as well as posters or bills, etc., showing a happy couple with two children with a slogan Hum Do Hamare Do i.e., we two, our two. Many couples, mostly the young, urban, working ones have even adopted an 'one child norm'. Statutory raising of marriageable age of the female to 18 years and that of males to 21 years, and incentives given to couples with small families are two of the other measures taken to tackle this problem.

  Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

  Natural method of contraception works on the principle of avoiding chances of ovum and sperms meeting e.g.,

  (i) Periodic Abstinence: It is one such method in which the couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation could be expected. As chances of fertilisation are very high during this period, it is called the fertile period. Therefore, by abstaining from coitus during this period, conception could be prevented. It is also called rhythm method or safe period.

  (ii) Withdrawal or Coitus Interruptus : In this method male partner withdraws his penis from the vagina just before ejaculation so as to avoid insemination.

  (iii) Lactational Amenorrhea : It is absence of menstruation method is based on the fact that ovulation and therefore the cycle do not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition. Therefore, as long as the mother breast-feeds the child fully, chances of conception are almost nil. However, this method has been reported to be effective only upto a maximum period of six months following parturition.

  As no medicines or devices are used in these methods, side effects are almost nil. Chances of failure, though, of this method are also high.

  Directions : (11 - 15) Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :

  In barrier methods of contraception, ovum and sperms are prevented from physically meeting with the help of barriers i.e., they prevent fertilization. Such methods are available for both males and females.

  (i) Condoms : These are barriers made of thin rubber or latex sheath that are used to cover the penis in the male or vagina and cervix in the female, just before coitus so that the ejaculated semen would not enter into the female reproductive tract. This can prevent conception. 'Nirodh' is a popular brand of condom for the male. Use of condoms has increased in recent years due to its additional benefit of protecting the user from contracting STDs and AIDS. Both the male and the female condoms are disposable, can be self-inserted and thereby gives privacy to the user.

  (ii) Diaphragms, Cervical caps and Vaults : These are also barriers made of rubber that are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus. They prevent conception by blocking the entry of sperms through the cervix.

  [a] Diaphragm : Tubular rubber sheath with a flexible metal or spring ring at the margin which is fitted inside the vagina.

  [b] Cervical Caps : Rubber nipple which is fitted over the cervix and is designed to remain there by suction.

  [c] Vault : Hemispheric dome like rubber or plastic cap with a thick rim which is meant for fitting over the cervix.

  Surgical method or sterilization are generally advised for the male or female partner as a termini method to prevent any more pregnancies. Surgical intervention blocks gamete transport and thereby prevent conception or fertilisation. Sterilisation procedure in the male is called 'vasectomy' and that in the female, 'tubectomy'. In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum whereas in tubectomy, a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up through a small incision in the abdomen or through vagina. These techniques are highly effective bin their reversibility is very poor.

  The infertile couples could be assisted to have children through certain special techniques commonly known as assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In vitro fertilisation (IVF) i.e., fertilisation outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body followed by embryo transfer (ET) is one of such methods. It is popularly known as test tube baby programme, ova from the wife or donor (female and sperms from the husband (AIH) or donor (AID) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. The zygote or early embryos with upto 8 blastomeres could then be transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT-zygote intra fallopian transfer) and embryos with more than 8 blastomeres, into the uterus (IUT - intra uterine transfer), to complete its further development Embryos formed by in-vivo fertilisation fusion of gametes within the female also could be used for such transfer to assist those females who cannot conceive. Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube (GIFT - gamete intra fallopian transfer) of another female who cannot produce one but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation and further development is another method attempted
