Grammar

Singular or plural

Hello,

I have these two sentences:

"We (he and I) exchanged our opinion on this problem."

"We (he and I) exchanged our opinions on this probem."


Does the first sentence mean that we each had one opinion and exchanged them?

Does the second sentence mean that each of us had more than one opinion and we exchanged them?


Thanks a lot for any answers!
