SSC Pure Mathematics QUESTION #11171
Question 1
Let $A$ be a finite subset of a metric space $X$. Then $A^d =$
  • Singleton set
  • $\emptyset$✔️
  • $A$
  • $X\setminus A$
Correct Answer Explanation
The derived set $A^d$ (set of all limit/accumulation points of $A$) of a finite set in a metric space is the empty set $\emptyset$. A finite set has no limit points because any neighbourhood of a point in the space contains only finitely many points of $A$, so no point is a limit point of $A$.
