A Problem Book in Real Analysis - Aksoy, Khamsi - Page 204 Problem 10.49 Use Baire’s Category Theorem to show that the set of all rationals $\Bbb Q$ is not the intersection of a countable collection of open sets. Use this result to show that the set of irrationals is not the union of a countable collection of closet sets.
BCT: Any countable union of closed sets with empty interior has an empty interior.
Hint: Clearly, Q is coutable union of one-point sets (closed sets), thus the set of irrationals is not the union of a countable collection of closet sets.
