If P is a set of integers and 3 is in P, is every positive multiple of 3 in P?

(1) For any integer in P, the sum of 3 and that integer is also in P
(2) For any integer in P, that integer minus 3 is also in P

Yes,appears to be A.Here's my explanation:

Its given that 3 is in P,

(1) =>
3+3,3+6,3+9,....are all in P.If an integer is in P,then 3+that integer is also in P.So,it has to be an infinite set to satisfy this condition.To conclude,all positive multiples of 3 must be in P.

(2)=>

Using this we can conclude that All negative mutliples of 3 are in P but we cannot say that all positive multiples of 3 are in P.

any other views???

Option 2 will not be the correct answer. This is because if the number 3 is in the set, then 3-0=0 is also in the set. Ans 0 is not a multiple of 3...hope this sounds logical
