Question 3

Given any set $S$ of positive integers, show that at least one of the following two assertions holds:

(1) There exist distinct finite subsets $F$ and $G$ of $S$ such that $\sum_{x \in F} 1 / x=\sum_{x \in G} 1 / x$;

(2) There exists a positive rational number $r\lt 1$ such that $\sum_{x \in F} 1 / x \neq r$ for all finite subsets $F$ of $S$.
