NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 144
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:
Statement I: The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity.
Statement II: The hymen is torn during the first coitus only.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Option A:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Option B:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Option C:Correct
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Option D:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is true because the hymen can be broken by other causes such as sports, tampon insertion, or injury, and it may persist even after coitus, so it is not a reliable indicator of virginity. Statement II is false because the hymen is not necessarily torn only during first coitus. Therefore, Statement I is true and Statement II is false, so the correct answer is C.
