On ℝ let T₁={U:0∉U or U=ℝ},T₂={U:0∈U or U=∅},T₃=T₁∩T₂. Find the closure of {1} in (ℝ,T₃).

  1. {1}
  2. {0,1}
  3. ℝ
  4. ℝ∖{0}

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) ℝ

Explanation

A nonempty proper set cannot simultaneously contain 0 (required by T₂) and exclude 0 (required by T₁). Thus T₃={∅,ℝ}, the indiscrete topology. The only closed set containing {1} is ℝ, so its closure is **ℝ, C**.
