Past exam of the mathematics course of the University of Cambridge / 2014 / ib / Paper 4 / 13E / i / Solution

Take the incomplete metric space $X=(0,1)$ with its usual distance, andEach is nonempty and closed relative to $X$: it is $X\cap (-\infty ,1/(n+1)]$. The sequence is strictly descending and its diameters are $1/(n+1)\to 0$. Its intersection is empty, since every positive point exceeds $1/(n+1)$ for sufficiently large $n$. The excluded limiting point is zero.
