Let A, B be bounded subsets of R. Let A+B = {r+y:1 € A, y E B} and AB = {ry : 1 € A, y € B}. Which of the following statements are (i) always true (ii) sometimes true (iii) never true? Prove your assertions (by proofs or giving counterexamples). (a) sup (A + B) = sup A+ sup B. (b) inf (AB) = inf A inf B.

### Problem Statement

Let \( A, B \) be bounded subsets of \( \mathbb{R} \) (the set of all real numbers). Define the following sets:

\[ A + B = \{ x + y : x \in A, y \in B \} \]

\[ AB = \{ xy : x \in A, y \in B \} \]

Determine the truthfulness of the following statements:

(i) Always true.

(ii) Sometimes true.

(iii) Never true.

Provide proofs or counterexamples for your assertions.

**Statements:**

(a) \[ \sup (A + B) = \sup A + \sup B. \]

(b) \[ \inf (AB) = \inf A \inf B. \]

### Detailed Explanation

- \( \sup \) denotes the supremum (least upper bound) of a set.
- \( \inf \) denotes the infimum (greatest lower bound) of a set.

**Set Operations:**

1. \( A + B \): This denotes the set of all elements that can be formed by adding any element \( x \) from set \( A \) and any element \( y \) from set \( B \).
2. \( AB \): This denotes the set of all elements that can be formed by multiplying any element \( x \) from set \( A \) and any element \( y \) from set \( B \).
