Amniocentesis is a diagnostic procedure or a prenatal test to check any chromosomal abnormalities or determine the sex of an unborn child.
- The assertion is false because amniocentesis has not been used as one of the strategies of reproductive and child health programme.
- Amniocentesis has been misused to determine the sex of the child leading to female infanticide.
- The reason is correct because to prevent this crime, a legal ban has been put on amniocentesis tests.
- A ban has been put to check the increasing menace of female foeticide.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C): A is false but R is true.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.

Concepts Used:
Reproductive Health
- The biological process by which a new individual or an offspring is produced from a parent or parents that are biologically similar or identical is known as reproduction. It is the elemental trait of all known forms of life. In fact, each and every individual have life because of reproduction.
- The state or position of male and female reproductive systems during their lifetime refers to their reproductive health. The system comprises organs and glands, including the pituitary gland in our brain, which are responsible for the production and release of hormones.
- In other words, reproductive health can be described as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects relating to the reproductive system. It includes the liberation and appropriate capacity to reproduce as and when one decides to do so, apart from having a safe and satisfying sex life.
