Take A1​=Q2. Every open disk contains infinitely many points with both coordinates rational, so every point of the plane is an accumulation point of A1​. Every disk also contains infinitely many points with an irrational first coordinate, and these lie in the complement. Thus
A1′​=R2=(R2∖A1​)′.​
(1)
The infinitely-many-points observation ensures that one can avoid the centre of the disk itself in both cases.
