Question

Match List I (Type of Pill) with List II (Effect) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.

List I	List II
A. Triphasic	1. Prevention of ovarian tumours
B. DMPA	2. Good for women having hypomenorrhoea
C. Biphasic pill	3. Amenorrhoea is common
D. Progestin containing IUD	4. Beneficial effect on high density lipoproteins
	5. Chance of ectopic pregnancy

• A. A-4, B-3, C-1, D-5
• B. A-4, B-1, C-3, D-5
• C. A-5, B-4, C-2, D-1
• D. A-5, B-3, C-4, D-2

Hint:

Match each method to its one standout pharmacological effect; one List II item is a distractor.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

This question tests recall of one key fact tied to each hormonal method in List I, then asks us to line those facts up with List II, where one entry is a decoy that never gets used.

1. A. Triphasic: These pills change the hormone dose through the cycle, which keeps the total dose lower and gives a better lipid profile, so they help raise high density lipoproteins. That is item 4.
2. B. DMPA: This injectable progestin is famous for making periods irregular at first and then stopping them with continued use, so amenorrhoea being common (item 3) is its signature effect.
3. C. Biphasic pill: Like other combined pills, long-term use lowers the chance of ovarian tumours, so item 1 belongs here.
4. D. Progestin containing IUD: Because it works locally in the uterus rather than stopping ovulation reliably, any pregnancy that does occur with it has a higher chance of being ectopic, which is item 5.

Item 2, about hypomenorrhoea, is not needed for the correct combination and is only there to test if we pick pairs carefully. Lining up the real matches gives A-4, B-3, C-1, D-5, which is code (a).

Let's summarize:

• Triphasic pills favour the lipid profile (HDL).
• DMPA is linked with amenorrhoea on continued use.
• Combined/biphasic pills cut ovarian tumour risk.
• Progestin-only IUDs carry a higher relative ectopic risk if the device fails.

So the correct code is A-4, B-3, C-1, D-5, option (A).
