Solution

Statement I is false and Statement II is true.

Explanation:

The sex ratio in our country remains uneven due to factors such as female foeticide, gender discrimination, and the ongoing preference for male children. This preference is still common in many parts of India because sons are often seen as important for inheritance, carrying forward the family name, and providing financial security.
