Question 2

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the set of all polynomials in three variables $x, y, z$ with integer coefficients. Let $\mathcal{B}$ denote the subset of $\mathcal{A}$ formed by all polynomials which can be expressed as

$$
(x+y+z) P(x, y, z)+(x y+y z+z x) Q(x, y, z)+x y z R(x, y, z)
$$

with $P, Q, R \in \mathcal{A}$. Find the smallest non-negative integer $n$ such that $x^{i} y^{j} z^{k} \in \mathcal{B}$ for all nonnegative integers $i, j, k$ satisfying $i+j+k \geqslant n$.
