Let X,YX, Y be subsets of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} and define X+Y={x+y:xX,yY}X+Y=\{x+y: x \in X, y \in Y\}. For each of the following statements give a proof or a counterexample (with justification) as appropriate.

(i) If each of X,YX, Y is bounded and closed, then X+YX+Y is bounded and closed.

(ii) If XX is bounded and closed and YY is closed, then X+YX+Y is closed.

(iii) If X,YX, Y are both closed, then X+YX+Y is closed.

(iv) If XX is open and YY is closed, then X+YX+Y is open.

[The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} may be assumed without proof.]
