Let $R ={f:{1,2,3,4,cdots ,10}to mathbb{Z}_2 }$ be the set of
all $mathbb{Z}_2$ -valued functions on the set ${1,2,3......10}$ of the first ten positive integer. Then $R$ is a commutative ring with point-wise addition and multiplication of functions. Which of the following is true?
1) $R$ has a unique maximal ideal.
2) Every prime ideal of $R$ is also maximal.
3 ) The number of proper ideals of $R$ is $511$.
4 ) Every element of $R$ is idempotent.
R is finite commutative ring so every prime ideal is maximlal ideal ,so I think option 2 is true .But for the other options I am helpless .

what is "Z2" is it "$mathbb{Z}_2 = mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z} = mathbb{F}_2$" the field with 2 elements? or $mathbb{Z}^2$ a lattice? or something completely different?

If you want $mathbb{Z}^2$ just change $mathbb{Z}_2$ to $mathbb{Z}^2$.

You shouldn't have any trouble showing that your ring is isomorphic to $mathbb Z_2^{10}$ (the product ring of $10$ copies of $mathbb Z_2$.) The idea is that you send $phi :{1,2,ldots, 10}tomathbb Z_2$ to $(phi(1),phi(2),ldots,phi(10))in mathbb Z_2^{10}$.
Of course $mathbb Z_2^{10}$ is a boolean ring since it is a product of boolean rings. This takes care of $(4)$.
It is well-known and easy to prove that the prime ideals are maximal in any boolean ring. Of course, it's also well-known and easy to prove that the prime ideals are maximal in finite rings. This takes care of $(2)$.
The ideals of a finite product of rings are easy to describe: they are all possible products of the ideals in the component rings. Since you have $10$ component rings, each of which have $2$ ideals, you have $2^{10}$ possible ideals. The whole ring is the one non-proper ideal you'll have to discard. This takes care of $(3)$.
The maximal ideals of a finite product of rings are also easy to describe: they are all of the form of the ideals described above, of course. It is easy to show that they are exactly those where you have a maximal ideal in one position, and the full ring in all other positions. So that gives you exactly $10$ maximal ideals, one for each position. This takes care of $(1)$.

4) is true because every element of $mathbb{Z}_2={0,1}$ is idempotent, so $forall Phi in R, forall kin {1,...,10}, Phi^2(k)= Phi(k) * Phi(k) = Phi(k)$.

Yes as you claim (b) is true. Call A as the set of first 10 natural numbers .Now Let us see some ideals of this ring. Let $ain A$, Define: $I_{a}={ f:A to mathbb{Z}_{2}|f(a) =0 } $. Observe this is an ideal of this ring. Moreover, it is a maximal ideal. It is obvious that (d) is correct because $f^{2}=f$. Infact, this is an example of a boolean ring.
(a) is incorrect is pretty clear as we have a quite a few maximal ideals as we will vary a from 1 to 10.
Now about the number of ideals. observe first that if $Bsubseteq A$ we can define $I_{B}= { f:A to mathbb{Z}_{2}|f(b) =0$ $forall$ b $in B } $.
Clearly $I_{B}$ is an ideal. If $B=A$, then $I_{B}$ is the zero ideal.
Now how many such proper ideal we have already.
we claim if B is empty then $I_{B}$ is the whole ring. To see this if B is empty we have for each $a in A$ , there exists $f_{a} in I$ such that $f_{a}(a)=1$.
Define: $g_{a}=f_{a}.h_{a}$ where $h_{a}(x)=1$ if x=a or zero otherwise. clearly $g_{a} in I$. Observe $sum_{ain A}g_{a}=1$, where denotes the identity function. Hence $I_{B}=R$.
So, if B is non-empty we have $I_{B}$ is clearly a proper ideal of R. How many proper subset B of A are there? $2^{10}-1$ isn't it? 1023 ideals we have already have which are proper. So (c) is incorrect.

4) is true because every element of $mathbb{Z}_2={0,1}$ is idempotent, so $forall Phi in R, forall kin {1,...,10}, Phi^2(k)= Phi(k) * Phi(k) = Phi(k)$.

Yes as you claim (b) is true. Call A as the set of first 10 natural numbers .Now Let us see some ideals of this ring. Let $ain A$, Define: $I_{a}={ f:A to mathbb{Z}_{2}|f(a) =0 } $.

(a) is incorrect is pretty clear as we have a quite a few maximal ideals as we will vary a from 1 to 10.
Now about the number of ideals. observe first that if $Bsubseteq A$ we can define $I_{B}= { f:A to mathbb{Z}_{2}|f(b) =0$ $forall$ b $in B } $.
Clearly $I_{B}$ is an ideal. If $B=A$, then $I_{B}$ is the zero ideal.
Now how many such proper ideal we have already.
we claim if B is empty then $I_{B}$ is the whole ring. To see this if B is empty we have for each $a in A$ , there exists $f_{a} in I$ such that $f_{a}(a)=1$.
Define: $g_{a}=f_{a}.h_{a}$ where $h_{a}(x)=1$ if x=a or zero otherwise. clearly $g_{a} in I$. Observe $sum_{ain A}g_{a}=1$, where denotes the identity function. Hence $I_{B}=R$.
So, if B is non-empty we have $I_{B}$ is clearly a proper ideal of R. How many proper subset B of A are there? $2^{10}-1$ isn't it? 1023 ideals we have already have which are proper. So (c) is incorrect.
