PART A
4. Define separable space. Prove that every second countable space is separable
5. Let C be a connected subset of a space Xand A,B are mutually separated subsets of X. Then
C ⊆ A ∪ B implies either C ⊆ A or C ⊆ B
6. Prove that components of open subsets of a locally connected space are open
7. Prove that a topological space X is T1 if and only if every singleton set { x } is closed in X
11. Let X,Y be topological spaces and f : X → Y a function. If f is continuous then the graph
G= {( x, f ( x)) : x ∈ X } is homeomorphic to X
12. Every continuous real valued function on a compact space is bounded and attains its
extrema
16. If F is a compact subset and C a closed subset of a completely regular space X and
F ∩ C = φ , then there exist a continuous function f: X→[0,1] such that f(x)=0 ∀x ∈ F and f(y)=1
∀ y∈ C
PART C
17. a)Every open cover of a second countable space has a countable subcover
b)In a metric space X, a point y is in the closure of a subset A iff there exist a sequence { x n }
converges to f(x) in Y
c)Let Y be a Hausdorffspace. Prove that for any space X and any two maps f , g : X → Y the
set { x ∈ X : f ( x ) = g ( x ) } is closed in X
