SSC Pure Mathematics QUESTION #11175
Question 1
The number of elements in a co-finite topological space $(X,\tau)$ where $X=\{s,t,u\}$ is:
  • $2$
  • $3$
  • $4$
  • $8$✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
The co-finite topology on a finite set $X = \{s,t,u\}$ (with $|X|=3$) consists of all subsets whose complements are finite — but since $X$ is already finite, this means $\tau$ contains $\emptyset$ and all subsets whose complement is finite, which is all subsets. So $\tau$ is the discrete topology: $|\tau| = 2^3 = 8$.
