National Institute of Technology Rourkela

Department of Mathematics
MSc. and Int. MSc. (Spring), Academic Year 2021–22
Mid-Semester Examination
Course: MA 4106 (Topology) Time: 2 hours Full marks: 30

Instructions:Answer all questions. All parts of a question should be answered at one place.

1. Let Tc = {U ⊂ R : either U = ϕ or R − U is countable }, then verify that Tc is a

topology on R. [3]

2. Show that the K−topology is strictly finer that the usual topology on R. [3]

3. Show that the countable collection {[a, b) : a < b, a and b rational} is a basis that

generates a topology different from the lower limit topology. [3]

∏
4. Let x1 , x2 , . . . be a sequence of points of the product space Xα . Show that this

sequence converge to x if and only if the sequence πα (x1 ), πα (x2 ) . . . converges to

πα (x) for each α. [3]

5. Define box and product topology on arbitrary product space and compare the two

topologies. [3]

6. Show that X is Hausdorff if and only if the diagonal ∆ = {(x, x) : x ∈ X} is closed

in X × X. [3]

7. Let X be a topological space and A be a subset of X, then show that Int(A) and

Bd(A) are disjoint. Also find boundary of the set {(x, y) : x is rational} in R2 . [3]

8. Let Y be an ordered set in the order topology. Let f, g : X → Y be continuous, then

show that the set {x : f (x) ≤ g(x)} is closed in X. [3]

9. If X is Hausdorff then show that the complement of any finite set is open. [3]

10. Let {An } be a sequence of connected subspace of X such that An ∩ An+1 ̸= ϕ for all

n. Show that ∪An is connected. [3]
