(b) {0}U{1,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,...}

(c) (0,1)U(1,2)U(2,3)U(3,4)UU(n,n+1)U...

(d)   (1/2,1) U (1/4,1/2) U (1/8,1/4) U (1/16,1/8) U ...

Explanation / Answer

{1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5,....}
No interior points: this is right.
"The accumulation point is 0": right, but I would phrase it as "0 is the only accumulation point."
Every point is isolated: right.
"The boundary point is 0": same comment as above, but also this is wrong. The boundary of a set is its closure minus its interior. (The closure is the set itself plus the accumulation points.) So in this case, the closure is {1, 1/2, 1/3, ...}U{0}, the interior is the empty set, and the boundary is {1, 1/2, 1/3, ...}U{0}.

(0,1)U(1,2)U(2,3)U(3,4)U...U(n, n+1)U...
Every point is an interior point: right.
Every point is an accumulation point: right. But also, the points 0,1,2,3,... are accumulation points. The set of accumulation points is [0,infinity).
No points are isolated: right.
The boundary points are 0,1,2,3,... (or in set language, the boundary is {0,1,2,3,...}).
