Answer
$i.$ Rational numbers: The numbers of the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $\text{q}\neq0$ are called rational numbers.
$ii.$ Positive rational numbers: $\frac{3}{4},\frac{7}{8},\frac{15}{11}$$\frac{-3}{-5},\frac{-9}{-4}$
$iii.$ Negative rational numbers: $\frac{-5}{7},\frac{-3}{8}$ $\frac{11}{-5},\frac{13}{-7},\frac{-8}{3}$
Yes, there is one rational number $(0)$ which is neither positive nor negative.
