As N makes 3 sigma bonds in NH3 with 3 H atoms and each sigma bond contributes 1 to oxidation state , so net oxidation state will be (-3)

Samhithreddy: it is N3H not NH3
Samhithreddy: it is not the right answer
annie76: really sorry i haven't read the question properly , the right answer is (-1/3)
