Q.

Given two distinct nonzero vectors v1 and v2 in 3 dimensions, define a sequence of vectors by  
vn+2=vn×vn+1(so  v3=v1×v2,v4=v2×v3  and  soon)  Let  S={vn/n=1,2,.....}and  U={vn|vn|/n=1,2,.....}. 
(Note: Here × denotes the cross product of vectors and |v| denotes the magnitude of the vector v. The vector 0 with 0 magnitude, if it occurs in S, is counted. But in that case of course the 0 vector is not considered while listing elements of U. number of elements in set  S is called cardinality of  S) 
S1: There exist vectors v1  and  v2 for which the cardinality of S is 2.
S2: There exist vectors v1  and  v2 for which the cardinality of S is 3.
S3: There exist vectors v1  and  v2 for which the cardinality of S is 4.
S4:  Suppose that for some v1  and  v2, the set S is infinite then the set U is also infinite.
The number of TRUE statements among the S1,S2,S3,S4 is
