(a) Suppose S is a subset of positive integers, ZZ. If |S| ≥ 3, prove there exist distinct z and y in S such that x +y is even. (b) Suppose S is a subset of ZZx 72+ (ordered pairs of positive integers). What is the minimal value of S' in order to guarantee the existence of distinct ordered pairs (r₁, 3₁) and (r2, 32) in S such that r₁ +2 and y₁ + y2 are both even? Explain. (c) Generalize (b) (and hance (a)) to k-tuples of positive integers. Justify your reasoning!
