Let xx and yy range over the positive integers, and let D(x,y)D(x, y) mean "xx divides yy". How many of these six statements are TRUE?

(1) ∀x ∀y D(x,y)\forall x\, \forall y\, D(x, y)  (2) ∃x ∃y D(x,y)\exists x\, \exists y\, D(x, y)  (3) ∀x ∃y D(x,y)\forall x\, \exists y\, D(x, y)

(4) ∃y ∀x D(x,y)\exists y\, \forall x\, D(x, y)  (5) ∀y ∃x D(x,y)\forall y\, \exists x\, D(x, y)  (6) ∃x ∀y D(x,y)\exists x\, \forall y\, D(x, y)
