Problem Statement

a)a) Prove that for all positive integers nn exists a set MnM_n of positive integers with exactly nn elements and:
i)i) Arithmetic mean of arbitrary non-empty subset of MnM_n is integer ii)ii) Geometric mean of arbitrary non-empty subset of MnM_n is integer iii)iii) Both arithmetic mean and geometry mean of arbitrary non-empty subset of MnM_n is integer
b)b) Does there exist infinite set MM of positive integers such that arithmetic mean of arbitrary non-empty subset of MM is integer
