Which of the following sets is open in the real numbers with the usual topology?

  1. The set of all rational numbers

  2. The set of all irrational numbers

  3. The set of all numbers between 0 and 1

  4. The set of all numbers greater than or equal to 0


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A set is open if it contains all of its limit points. The set of all numbers greater than or equal to 0 is open because it contains all of its limit points, which are the numbers greater than 0.

Which of the following sets is closed in the real numbers with the usual topology?

  1. The set of all rational numbers

  2. The set of all irrational numbers

  3. The set of all numbers between 0 and 1

  4. The set of all numbers less than or equal to 0


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A set is closed if it contains all of its limit points. The set of all numbers less than or equal to 0 is closed because it contains all of its limit points, which are the numbers less than 0.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ be a subset of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. $A$ is open if and only if its complement is closed.

  2. $A$ is closed if and only if its complement is open.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A set is open if and only if its complement is closed, and a set is closed if and only if its complement is open. This is known as the complement rule.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ and $B$ be subsets of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. The union of two open sets is always open.

  2. The intersection of two open sets is always open.

  3. The union of two closed sets is always closed.

  4. The intersection of two closed sets is always closed.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

The union of two open sets is always open, the intersection of two open sets is always open, the union of two closed sets is always closed, and the intersection of two closed sets is always closed. These are known as the union and intersection rules.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ be a subset of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. If $A$ is open, then its closure is also open.

  2. If $A$ is closed, then its interior is also closed.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If $A$ is open, then its closure is not necessarily open. For example, the set of all rational numbers is open in the real numbers, but its closure, which is the set of all real numbers, is not open. Similarly, if $A$ is closed, then its interior is not necessarily closed. For example, the set of all irrational numbers is closed in the real numbers, but its interior, which is the empty set, is not closed.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ be a subset of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. The boundary of an open set is always closed.

  2. The boundary of a closed set is always open.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The boundary of an open set is always closed, and the boundary of a closed set is always open. This is known as the boundary rule.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ be a subset of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. A set is open if and only if it is the union of open sets.

  2. A set is closed if and only if it is the intersection of closed sets.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A set is open if and only if it is the union of open sets, and a set is closed if and only if it is the intersection of closed sets. These are known as the union and intersection theorems.

Let $X$ be a topological space and $A$ be a subset of $X$. Which of the following is true?

  1. A set is open if and only if it contains all of its limit points.

  2. A set is closed if and only if it contains none of its limit points.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A set is open if and only if it contains all of its limit points, and a set is closed if and only if it contains none of its limit points. This is known as the limit point theorem.

  3. Both of the above.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A set is open if and only if its complement is closed, and a set is closed if and only if its complement is open. This is known as the complement rule.

  3. The union of two closed sets is always closed.

  4. The intersection of two closed sets is always closed.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

The union of two open sets is always open, the intersection of two open sets is always open, the union of two closed sets is always closed, and the intersection of two closed sets is always closed. These are known as the union and intersection rules.
