(a) Let (X,d)(X, d) be a metric space containing the point x0x_{0}, and let

U={xX:d(x,x0)<1},K={xX:d(x,x0)1}U=\left\{x \in X: d\left(x, x_{0}\right)<1\right\}, \quad K=\left\{x \in X: d\left(x, x_{0}\right) \leqslant 1\right\}

Is UU necessarily the largest open subset of KK ? Is KK necessarily the smallest closed set that contains UU ? Justify your answers.

(b) Let XX be a normed space with norm \|\cdot\|, and let

U={xX:x<1},K={xX:x1}U=\{x \in X:\|x\|<1\}, \quad K=\{x \in X:\|x\| \leqslant 1\}

Is UU necessarily the largest open subset of KK ? Is KK necessarily the smallest closed set that contains UU ? Justify your answers.
