$begingroup$
Let $A$ be the set of real numbers such that $0 < x leq 1$ . For every $x in A$, let $E_{x}$ be the set of real numbers $y$ such that $0< y< x$. Then
$bigcap_{x in A} E_{x}$ is empty.
The Proof provided in textbook:
We note that for every $y > 0$, $y notin E_{x}$ if $x < y$. Hence $y notin bigcap_{x epsilon A} E_{x}$
I didn't understand the proof & also here is my understanding.
Counter Argument-1: We can always find a real number between every $(0,x)$ where x is $x > 0$. So, It can not be empty.
Counter Argument-2: This is somehow similar to Nested interval property, So, it can not be empty.
Please explain how rudin got this result ?

He is saying that for any $y$, you can find an $x$ in the interval such that $xleq y$ and so $y$ is not in $E_x$ for that $x$ and so it cannot be in the intersection of all the $E_x$. Since $y$ was arbitrary, the intersection must be empty.

Note that $bigcap_{xin A}E_xsubset(0,infty)$. If $yin bigcap_{xin A}E_xsubset(0,infty)$, this means that $y<x$ for all $x>0$. As Rudin says, this is a contradiction because given $y>0$, you can always find $x$ with $0<x<y$ (for instance, $x=y/2$).
Regarding your comment, the nested interval property is about compact sets. These are open and not closed.
