Assertion (A): The negative (additive inverse) of -5 is 5 and the negative of 5 is -5.
Reason (R): The negative of a negative rational number is negative and the negative of a positive rational number is negative.

Answer
The negative (additive inverse) of a rational number is obtained by changing its sign.
⇒ -5 + 5 = 0
⇒ 5 + (-5) = 0
So, the negative of -5 is 5 and the negative of 5 is -5, i.e. the Assertion (A) is true.
The Reason (R) states that the negative of a negative rational number is negative, which is wrong, as the negative of a negative rational number is a positive rational number.
So, the Reason (R) is false.
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
