Theory Explanation. |
Question 6 |
The minimum number of edges in a connected cyclic graph on n vertices is:
n - 1 | |
n | |
n + 1 | |
None of the above |
In cyclic graph:
No. of edges = No. of vertices
⇒ n = n
Question 7 |
Graph G is obtained by adding vertex s to K3,4 and making s adjacent to every vertex of K3,4. The minimum number of colours required to edge-colour G is _____.
7 |
The vertex in the set of size 3 has 4 edges connected to 4 vertices on other set. So, edge color of G is max(3,4) i.e. 4.
When a vertex is added to the graph with 7 vertices ( K3x4 has 7 vertices), there would be 7 edges associated to that new vertex. As per the edge coloring “no two adjacent edges have same color).
As the new vertex with 7 edges need to be colored with 7 colors, the edge color of graph G is 7.
Question 8 |
Let G be an undirected complete graph on n vertices, where n > 2. Then, the number of different Hamiltonian cycles in G is equal to
n! | |
1 | |
(n-1)! | |

Question 9 |
Let G be a graph with 100 vertices numbered 1 to 100. Two vertices i and j are adjacent if |i - j| = 8 or |i - j| = 12. The number of connected components in G is
8 | |
4 | |
12 | |
25 |
1 — 9 — 17 — ......... — 97
2 — 10 — 18 — ......... — 98
3 — 11 — 19 — ......... — 99
4 — 12 — 20 — ......... — 100
5 — 13 — 21 — ......... — 93
6 — 14 — 22 — ......... — 94
7 — 15 — 23 — ......... — 95
8 — 16 — 24 — ......... — 96
We have covered all vertices using 8 vertex sets considering only |i - j| = 8. Using |i - j| = 12 we can see the vertex 1 is connected to 13, 2 to 14, 3 to 15 and 4 to 16. So the top 4 vertex sets are infact connected to the bottom 4 sets, thus reducing the connected components to 4.

Each subset of these edges will be form a graph.

Question 17 |
Let G be a graph with 100! vertices, with each vertex labeled by a distinct permutation of the numbers 1, 2, …, 100. There is an edge between vertices u and v if and only if the label of u can be obtained by swapping two adjacent numbers in the label of v. Let y denote the degree of a vertex in G, and z denote the number of connected components in G.
Then, y + 10z = ___________.
109 | |
110 | |
111 | |
112 |
There exists edge between two vertices iff label of ‘u’ is obtained by swapping two adjacent numbers in label of ‘v’.
Example:
12 & 21, 23 & 34
The sets of the swapping numbers be (1, 2) (2, 3) (3, 4) … (99).
The no. of such sets are 99 i.e., no. of edges = 99.
As this is regular, each vertex has ‘99’ edges correspond to it.
So degree of each vertex = 99 = y.
As the vertices are connected together, the number of components formed = 1 = z
y + 102 = 99 + 10(1) = 109

To get maximum, take one vertex each for each component, except last component.
Now, k-1 components have 1 vertex each and so on edges.
The last component has (n-(k-1)) vertices. So make the last component complete, i.e., it has n-(n-1)C2
= (n-k)(n-k+1)/2
= maximum no. of edges

Question 22 |
A non-planar graph with minimum number of vertices has
9 edges, 6 vertices | |
6 edges, 4 vertices | |
10 edges, 5 vertices | |
9 edges, 5 vertices |

The above graph with 5 vertices and 10 edges is non-planar.
Question 23 |
Maximum number of edges in a planar graph with n vertices is ________
3n - 6 |
⇒ (3n - 2) = 3n - 6
Question 24 |
The diagonal entries of A 2 are the degrees of the vertices of the graph. | |
If the graph is connected, then none of the entries of A^ n + 1 + I n can be zero. | |
If the sum of all the elements of A is at most 2( n- 1), then the graph must be acyclic. | |
If there is at least a 1 in each of A ’s rows and columns, then the graph must be Connected. |
The entries aii show the number of 2-length paths between the nodes i and j. Why this happens is easy to see: if there is an edge ij and an edge jk, then there will be a path ik through j. The entries ii are the degrees of the nodes i.
Similarly in A^3 we have the entries aii that show the number of 3-length paths between the nodes i and j.
In A^n-1 + I n, we will have at least n-1 length paths, so there is no possibility of zero entires

10 | |
11 | |
18 | |
19 |
By Handshaking Lemma,
6 * 2 + 3 * 4 + (x - 9) * 3 = 27 * 2
24 + (x - 9) * 3 = 54
x = 19
Question 29 |

n - 1 | |
n | |
n + 1 | |
2n - 1 |
= n - 1
Question 30 |
Let G be a directed graph whose vertex set is the set of numbers from 1 to 100. There is an edge from a vertex i to a vertex j iff either j = i + 1 or j = 3i. The minimum number of edges in a path in G from vertex 1 to vertex 100 is
4 | |
7 | |
23 | |
99 |
j = i +1
(or)
j = 3i
Second option will help us reach from 1 to 100 rapidly. The trick to solve this question is to think in reverse way. Instead of finding a path from 1 to 100, try to find a path from 100 to 1.
So, the edge sequence with minimum number of edges is
1 → 3 → 9 → 10 → 11 → 33 → 99 → 100
which consists of 7 edges.
Question 31 |
Let G be a weighted undirected graph and e be an edge with maximum weight in G. Suppose there is a minimum weight spanning tree in G containing the edge e. Which of the following statements is always TRUE?
There exists a cutset in G having all edges of maximum weight | |
There exists a cycle in G having all edges of maximum weight | |
Edge e cannot be contained in a cycle | |
All edges in G have the same weight |

(B) False, because the cutset of heaviest edge may contain only one edge.
(C) False. The cutset may form cycle with other edge.
(D) False. Not always true.
Question 32 |
Consider the undirected graph G defined as follows. The vertices of G are bit strings of length n. We have an edge between vertex u and vertex v if and only if u and v differ in exactly one bit position (in other words, v can be obtained from u by flipping a single bit). The ratio of the chromatic number of G to the diameter of G is
1/(2n-1) | |
1/n | |
2/n | |
3/n |
That will give us a bipartite graph, with chromatic number = 2
Also from the same we can conclude that we need for a 'n' bit string, to traverse no more than (n-1) edges or 'n' vertices to get a path between two arbitrary points. So the ratio is (2/n).
Question 33 |
G is a simple undirected graph. Some vertices of G are of odd degree. Add a node v to G and make it adjacent to each odd degree vertex of G. The resultant graph is sure to be
Regular | |
Complete | |
Hamiltonian | |
Euler |
→ In Euler graph all degrees must be even for all nodes. And number of odd degree vertices should be even.
→ So, degree of this new node will be even and as a new edge is formed between this new node and all other nodes of odd degree hence here is not a single node exists with degree odd so this is Euler graph.
Question 34 |

5 | |
4 | |
3 | |
2 |
(2, 5, 8) is the maximal independent set for a chain of 9 nodes. If we add any start node to the set then it will not be MIS.

A set of vertices is called independent set such that no two vertices in the set are adjacent.

Let G be a connected planar graph with n vertices and m edges, and no triangles. Then m≤2n-4.
Where m=9, n=6
⇒ 9 ≤ 12 - 4
⇒ 9 ≤ 8, which is to be false, then K33 is non-planar graph.
(ii) G2 is a planar graph. Because it can be redrawn like as below.

(iii) Let us assume G3 be a planar graph then it also be satisfy useful corollary.
Where m=9, n=6
then 9 ≤ 12-4
9 ≤ 8 is False
So, G3 is non-planar graph.
Answer: Only G2 is planar graph.

A graph G = (V,E) satisfies |E|≤ 3|V|-6. The min-degree of G is defined as . Therefore, min-degree of G cannot be
3 | |
4 | |
5 | |
6 |
|E| ≤ 3|v| - 6
Based on handshaking lemma, the minimum degree is (min×|v|)/2
⇒ (min×|v|)/2 ≤ 3|v| - 6
Checking the options lets take min=6
(6×|v|)/2 ≤ 3|v| - 6
0 ≤ -6 (Not satisfied)
And which is inconsistent.
Question 39 |
How many perfect matching are there in a complete graph of 6 vertices ?
15 | |
24 | |
30 | |
60 |
(2n)!/n!×2n
Given, 2n = 6 ⇒ n = 3
So, finally, 6!/3!×23 = 15
Question 40 |
Let G be an arbitrary graph with n nodes and k components. If a vertex is removed from G, the number of components in the resultant graph must necessarily lie between
k and n | |
k – 1 and k + 1 | |
k – 1 and n – 1 | |
k + 1 and n – k |
If a vertex is removed then it results that all the components are also be disconnected. So removal can create (n-1) components.

![]() | |
![]() | |
![]() | |
![]() |

= C((v,v-e) + C(v,v-(e+1)) + C(v,v-(e+2)) + ... + C(v,0)
= C(a,n) + C(a,n-1) + C(a,n-2) + ... + C(a,0) (since a-b=n)
= C(n(n-1)/2,n) + C(n(n-1)/2,n-1) + ... + C(n(n-1)/2,0)

∴ (A) is false
Since, every edge in a complete graph kn(n≥3) is not a bridge ⇒
(C) is false
Let us consider the following graph G:

This graph has a bridge i.e., edge ‘e’ and a cycle of length ‘3’
∴ (D) is false
Since, in a cycle every edge is not a bridge
∴ (B) is true

25 | |
26 | |
27 |
|V| + |R| = |E| + 2 ------(1) where |V|, |E|, |R| are respectively number of vertices, edges and faces (regions)
Given |V| = 10 ------(2) and number of edges on each face is three
∴3|R| = 2|E| ⇒ |R| = 2/3|E| ------(3)
Substituting (2), (3) in (1), we get
10 + 2/3|E| = |E| + 2 ⇒ |E|/3 = 8 ⇒ |E| = 24

16 | |
17 | |
18 | |
19 |
Degree of each vertex ≥ 3

|v| = 2|E|
The relation between max and min degree of graph are

Given minimum degree = 3
So, 3 ≤2 |E| / |v|
3|v| ≤ 2|E|
3(n) ≤ 2(25)
n ≤ 50/3
n ≤ 16.6
(n = 16)

If we observe the graph, it looks like a 12 by 12 grid. Each corner vertex has a degree of 3 and we have 4 corner vertices. 40 external vertices of degree 5 and remaining 100 vertices of degree 8.
From Handshaking theorem, sum of the degrees of the vertices is equal to the 2*number of edges in the graph.
⇒ (4*3) + (40*5) + (100*8) = 2*E
⇒ 1012 = 2*E
⇒ E = 506
Question 53 |
An ordered -tuple (d1, d2, ..., dn) with d1 ≥ d2 ≥ ... dn is called graphic if there exists a simple undirected graph with n vertices having degrees d1, d2, ..., dn respectively. Which of the following 6-tuples is NOT graphic?
(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) | |
(2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2) | |
(3, 3, 3, 1, 0, 0) | |
(3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0) |
A) (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

Yes, it is a graph.
We will see that option (C) is not graphic.
Question 54 |
Let G = (V,E) be a directed graph where V is the set of vertices and E the set of edges. Then which one of the following graphs has the same strongly connected components as G?
G1=(V,E1) where E1={(u,v)|(u,v)∉E} | |
G2=(V,E2 )where E2={(u,v)│(u,v)∈E} | |
G3=(V,E3) where E3={(u,v)|there is a path of length≤2 from u to v in E} | |
G4=(V4,E) where V4 is the set of vertices in G which are not isolated |
→ It strongly connected.
(A) G1=(V,E1) where E1={(u,v)|(u,v)∉E}
If (u, v) does not belong to the edge set ‘E’, then it indicates there are no edges. So, it is not connected.
(B) G2=(V,E2 )where E2={(u,v)│(u,v)∈E}
Given that ‘G’ is directed graph, i.e., it has path from each vertex to every other vertex.
Though direction is changed from (u, v) to (v, u), it is still connected component same as ‘G’.
(C) G3=(V,E3) where E3={(u,v)|there is a path of length≤2 from u to v in E}
This can also be true.
eg:

Both from each vertex to other vertex is also exists. So it is also strongly connected graph.
(D) G4=(V4,E) where V4 is the set of vertices in G which are not isolated.
If ‘G’ has same ‘x’ no. of isolated vertices, one strongly connected component
then no. of SCC = x + 1
G4 contain only ‘1’ component, which is not same as G.
Question 55 |
Which of the following graphs has an Eulerian circuit?
Any k-regular graph where k is an even number. | |
A complete graph on 90 vertices. | |
The complement of a cycle on 25 vertices.
| |
None of the above. |
→ all vertices in the graph have an "even degree".
→ And the graph must be corrected.
Now in option (C) it is saying that the complement of a cycle on 25 vertices without complement the degree of each vertex is 2.
Now since there are 25 vertices, so maximum degree of each vertex will be 24 and so in complement of cycle each vertex degree will be 24 - 2 = 22.
There is a theorem which says "G be a graph with n vertices and if every vertex has a degree of atleast n-1/2 then G is connected."
So we can say that complement of cycle with 25 vertices fulfills both the conditions, and hence is Eulerian circuit.

if n ≥ 3 then e ≤ 3n-6 (for planarity)
where n = no. of vertices
e = no. of edges
Now lets check the options.
A) e=9, n=5
9 ≤ 3(5) - 6
9 ≤ 15 - 6
9 ≤ 9
Yes, it is planar.
B) e=9, n=6
9 ≤ 3(6) - 6
9 ≤ 18 - 6 9 ≤ 12 Yes, it is planar.
iii) e=10, n=5
10 ≤ 3(5) - 6
10 ≤ 15 - 6
10 ≤ 9 No, it is not planar.
So, option C is non-planar graph.
iv) e=10, n=6
10 ≤ 3(6) - 6
10 ≤ 18 - 6
10 ≤ 12
Yes, it is planar.

(A) Consider the following disconnected graph which is planar.

So false.
(B) A graph is Eulerian if all vertices have even degree but a planar graph can have vertices with odd degree.

So false.
(D) Consider K4 graph. It has independent set size 1 which is less than 4/3.

So false.
Hence, option (C) is correct.

⇾ Arrange the degree of vertices in descending order
eg. d1, d2, d3... dn
⇾ Discard d1, subtrack ‘1’ from the next 'd1' degrees
eg:

⇒ 1 1 0 1
⇾ We should not get any negative value if its negative, this is not valid sequence
⇾ Repeat it till we get ‘0’ sequence
I. 7, 6, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1
➡️5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0
➡️3, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0
➡️1, 1, 0, 0, 0
➡️0, 0, 0, 0
[valid]
II. 6, 6, 6, 6, 3, 3, 2, 2
➡️5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 1, 2
put them in descending order
➡️5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 1
➡️4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1
➡️3, 0, 0, 0, 1 (descending order)
➡️3, 1, 0, 0, 0
➡️0, -1, -1, 0
[This is not valid]
III. 7, 6, 6, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2
➡️5, 5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1
➡️4, 2, 2, 1, 0, 1
➡️4, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0 (descending order)
➡️1, 1, 0, 0, 0
➡️0, 0, 0, 0
[valid]
IV. 8, 7, 7, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1
There is a degree ‘8’, but there are only ‘8’ vertices.
A vertex cannot have edge to itself in a simple graph. This is not valid sequence.
Question 59 |
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. Define ξ(G) = Σd id x d, where id is the number of vertices of degree d in G. If S and T are two different trees with ξ(S) = ξ(T),then
|S| = 2|T| | |
|S| = |T| - 1 | |
|S| = |T| | |
|S| = |T| + 1 |

id= no. of vertices of degree ‘d’ in ‘G’
Eg:

No. of vertices with degree ‘2’ = 3
ξ(G') = 3 × 2 = '6' i.e., sum of degrees
By Handshaking Theorem,
The sum of degrees would be equal to twice the no. of edges
|V| = 2|E|
It is given that ξ(G) = ξ(S) then
Sum of degrees of vertices in G is equal to sum of degrees of vertices in S
i.e., 2*(no. of edges in G) = 2*no. of edges in S no. of edges in G = no. of edges in S
Eg:

ξ(G) = (2 × 2) + (2 × 3) = 4 + 6 = 10

ξ(S) = 2 × 5 = 10
You can observe that, though no. of vertices are different, but still no. of edges are same.

In a cycle of n vertices, each vertex is connected to other two vertices. So each vertex degree is 2.
When we complement it, each vertex will be connected to remaining n-3 vertices ( one is self and two other vertices in actual graph).
As per given question,
n-3 =2
n=5
Cycle of 5 vertices is

Complement of the above graph1 is

Graph1 and Graph2 are complement each other.
So, the value of n is 5.
