Show Answer
Answer: (1). A is false but R is true.
Explanation-
Assertion A is false because amniocentesis for sex determination is not a strategy of the Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme; in fact, it is illegal in many countries, including India, due to its misuse for sex-selective abortions.
Reason R is true because banning amniocentesis for sex determination is indeed a measure to check the increasing menace of female foeticide.
