Let the universe be the set of all integers. Which of the following statements is/are true? (Where “$+$” is the integer addition)

  1. $\forall x \forall y \exists z (x+y = z)$
  2. $\forall x \exists y \forall z (x+y = z)$
  3. $\exists x \forall y \exists z (x+y = z)$
  4. $\exists z \forall x \exists y (x+y = z)$

x, y, z belongs to Integers.

Option A: For all x, for all y, there exists a z such that x + y = z. Here, for each choices of x and y, we’re choosing one z such that x + y = z and we know sum of any two integer is an integer. Thus, True.

Option B: For all x, there exists a y such that x + y, equals to for all z, z. Here, for each choice of x, we’re choosing one y1 such that x + y1 = all z. Counter example – x1 + y1 = z1 is true but x1 + y1 = z2 is false. Thus, False.

Option C: There exists a x, for all y, there exists a z such that x + y = z. Here, for an integer x1, for each choice of y, we’re choosing one z such that x1 + y = z and we know sum of any two integer is an integer. Thus, True.

Option D: There exists a z, for all x, there exists a y such that x + y = z. Here, for an integer z1, for each choice of x, we’re choosing one y such that z1 – x = y and we know difference of any two integer is an integer. Thus, True.

Answer :- A, C, D
