Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): Assertion (A): The presence or absence of a hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience. Reason (R): The hymen can also be broken by sudden falls, jolts, insertion of a vaginal tampon, or sports activities, and in some women, it persists even after coitus.
