Let $$P, Q$$, and $$R$$ be sets. Let $$\Delta $$ denote the symmetric difference operator defined as $$P\Delta Q = \left( {P \cup Q} \right) - \left( {P \cap Q} \right)$$. Using venn diagrams, determine which of the following is/are TRUE.

($${\rm I}$$) $$P\Delta \left( {Q \cap R} \right) = \left( {P\Delta Q} \right) \cap \left( {P\Delta R} \right)$$
($${\rm I}{\rm I}$$) $$P \cap \left( {Q\Delta R} \right) = \left( {P \cap Q} \right)\Delta \left( {P \cap R} \right)$$

$${\rm I}$$ only

$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$ only

Neither $${\rm I}$$ nor $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

Both $${\rm I}$$ and $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

Let $$P(x)$$ and $$Q(x)$$ be arbitrary predicates. Which of the following statement is always TRUE?

$$\left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right) \vee Q\left( x \right)} \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\left( {\forall xP\left( x \right)} \right) \vee \left( {\forall xQ\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)$$

$$\left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right) \Rightarrow Q\left( x \right)} \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\left( {\forall xP\left( x \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\forall xQ\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)$$

$$\left( {\left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\forall xQ\left( x \right)} \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right) \Rightarrow Q\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)$$

$$\left( {\left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)} \right) \Leftrightarrow \left( {\forall x\left( {Q\left( x \right)} \right)} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\forall x\left( {P\left( x \right) \Leftrightarrow Q\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)$$

Every teacher is liked by some student

$$\forall \left( x \right)\left[ {teacher\left( x \right) \to \exists \left( y \right)\left[ {student\left( y \right) \to likes\left( {y,\,x} \right)} \right]} \right]$$

$$\forall \left( x \right)\left[ {teacher\left( x \right) \to \exists \left( y \right)\left[ {student\left( y \right) \wedge likes\left( {y,\,x} \right)} \right]} \right]$$

$$\exists \left( y \right)\forall \left( x \right)\left[ {teacher\left( x \right) \to \left[ {student\left( y \right) \wedge likes\left( {y,x} \right)} \right]} \right]$$

$$\forall \left( x \right)\left[ {teacher\left( x \right) \wedge \exists \left( y \right)\left[ {student\left( y \right) \to likes\left( {y,\,x} \right)} \right]} \right]$$
