# Let (X, T ) be a topological space. Then T is the discrete topology on X iff Bd(A) = ∅ for every A ⊆ X. [closed]

prove or disprove:

Let (X, T ) be a topological space. Then T is the discrete topology on X iff Bd(A) = ∅ for every A ⊆ X.

I think it is false statement, but I do not know how can I come with counterexample any help please

When unable to find a counterexample, one should always try to give proof. The statement is indeed true. If $T$ is not the discrete topology, we can take a subset $A \subseteq X$ which is not closed. Then $\overline{A}$ properly contains $A$ and so $\partial A = \overline{A}\setminus A^\circ$ is non-empty.
