Check whether the following pair of statements is negation of each other. Give reasons for your answer.

(ii) There exists a real number x and y for which x + y = y + x.
Check whether the following pair of statements is negation of each other. Give reasons for your answer.
(i) x + y = y + x is true for every real number x and y.
(ii) There exists a real number x and y for which x + y = y + x.
(i) x + y = y + x is true for every real number x and y.
(ii) There exists a real number x and y for which x + y = y + x.
The above are not negation to each other since the negation of the statement in
(i) is "There exists real number x and y for which x + y ≠ y + x instead of the statement given in (ii).
