Consider the statements given below regarding contraception and answer as directed thereafter:
(i) Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) during first trimester is generally safe
(ii) Generally chances of conception are nil until mother breast-feeds the infant upto two years
(iii) Intrauterine devices like copper-T are effective contraceptives
(iv) Contraception pills may be taken upto one week after coitus to prevent conception

i and iii. Statement (i) is correct because MTP is generally safer in the first trimester. Statement (iii) is also correct because copper-T and similar IUDs are effective contraceptives. The other two are incorrect: breastfeeding does not guarantee nil conception for two years, and contraceptive pills are not used one week after coitus to prevent pregnancy.
