Assertion (A) : North-Eastern States are not facing any crisis with regard to female child sex-ratio.
Reason (R) : There is increase of education among women in these States.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true, but (R) is not the explanation of (A), which is the keyed answer, option A. The North-Eastern States are not facing the crisis in the female child sex ratio that is seen in the north-western States, since there is little preference for sons in most of their societies. Women's education has also increased there.
The rise in education is a fact, but the better sex ratio comes mainly from the social attitude to daughters and not from schooling, as a State such as Punjab shows that high education does not prevent a low ratio. Options B and C call one or both false, and option D calls (R) false.
