How many of the following statements are true?

I. If $a_n$ is a Cauchy sequence of rational numbers, then the limit of the $a_n$ is a rational number.

II. If $a_n$ is a Cauchy sequence of irrational numbers, then the limit of the $a_n$ is an irrational number.

III. If $a_n$ is a Cauchy sequence of real numbers, then the limit of the $a_n$ is a real number.

How many of the following statements are true for a sequence of real numbers $a_n$ ?

I. If $\lim_{n\to\infty} |a_n-a_m|=0$ for a single value of $m$ , then $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a Cauchy sequence.

II. If $\lim_{n\to\infty} |a_n-a_m|=0,$ for every $m$ , then $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a Cauchy sequence.

II only I only I and II Neither
