Answer

Given, inequation :

⇒ x ≤ -5

⇒ x = {-5, -6, -7, -8, ……..}

We are looking for whole numbers that are less than or equal to −5.

But since whole numbers start from 0 and go upward, there are no whole numbers ≤ -5.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Whole numbers include 0, which is neither positive nor negative.

So whole numbers are non-negative, not always positive.

So, reason (R) is false.

Thus, Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
