Answer:

Proved

Explanation:

To prove that every point in the open interval (0,1) is an interior point of S

This we can prove by contradiction method.

Let, if possible c be a point in the interval which is not an interior point.

Then c has a neighbourhood which contains atleast one point not in (0,1)

Let d be the point which is in neighbourhood of c but not in S(0,1)

Then the points between c and d would be either in (0,1) or not in (0,1)

If out of all points say d1,d2..... we find that dn is a point which is in (0,1) and dn+1 is not in (0,1) however large n is.

Then we find that dn is a boundary point of S

But since S is an open interval there is no boundary point hence we get a contradiction. Our assumption was wrong.

Every point of S=(0, 1) is an interior point of S.
