Exam questions on Graph theory terminology

  1. A graph GG has vertices A,B,C,D,EA, B, C, D, E and edges ABAB, ACAC, BCBC, CDCD and DEDE.
    State, with a reason, whether GG is a tree.2 marks
  2. KK is the complete graph with 6 vertices.
    A spanning tree of KK is formed by deleting edges. State the number of edges in the spanning tree and the number of edges deleted.2 marks
  3. A graph HH has vertices P,Q,R,S,T,UP, Q, R, S, T, U and edges PQPQ, QRQR, RSRS, STST, TUTU, UPUP and QTQT.
