Let (M,d) be a metric space. Denote with B(p,t) the open ball with center p

If B(x,r) <= B(x,s) then it is not necessarily r<=s.
What happens if B(x,r) < B(x,s) (that is, B(x,r) is strictly included in
B(x,s) ) ? Can we say once again that it is not necessarily r<=s ?

Of course not.

If B(x,r) is a proper subset of B(x,s) then it must be true that r<s.
