Question

In a population of 5000, there are 19 % eligible couples. To achieve a couple protection rate (CPR) of 60%, how many of these should be covered for family planning services?

The correct answer is
570

This question asks us to determine the number of couples that need family planning coverage to meet a specific Couple Protection Rate (CPR) target within a given population.

Calculate Total Eligible Couples

First, find the total number of eligible couples in the population.

  • Total population = 5000
  • Percentage of eligible couples = 19%
  • Number of eligible couples = Total population × Percentage of eligible couples

Calculation:

$ \text{Eligible Couples} = 5000 \times \frac{19}{100} = 5000 \times 0.19 = 950 $

There are 950 eligible couples in the population.

Determine Couples for Target CPR

Next, calculate how many of these eligible couples need to be covered to achieve the target CPR of 60%.

  • Number of eligible couples = 950
  • Target CPR = 60%
  • Couples to be covered = Number of eligible couples × Target CPR

Calculation:

$ \text{Couples to be covered} = 950 \times \frac{60}{100} = 950 \times 0.60 = 570 $

Conclusion

To achieve a 60% Couple Protection Rate (CPR), 570 eligible couples must be covered for family planning services.
