Solution

I see that the file contains questions related to discrete mathematics. I'll solve the provided problems and explain step-by-step. Here's the analysis and solution to each question.


Question 1: Graph Representation

Given:

  • V={1,2,3,4,5}V = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}
  • E={{1,2},{1,5},{2,3},{2,4},{3,4},{4,5}}E = \{\{1, 2\}, \{1, 5\}, \{2, 3\}, \{2, 4\}, \{3, 4\}, \{4, 5\}\}

Solution Steps:

  1. Vertices: List the vertices in the graph. V={1,2,3,4,5}V = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}.
  2. Edges: Represent each edge in the set EE as connections between vertices.
  3. Graph: Draw the graph G=(V,E)G = (V, E) with each edge connecting its corresponding vertices.

Graph Sketch:

  • Nodes: 1,2,3,4,51, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • Connections:
    • 121 \leftrightarrow 2
    • 151 \leftrightarrow 5
    • 232 \leftrightarrow 3
    • 242 \leftrightarrow 4
    • 343 \leftrightarrow 4
    • 454 \leftrightarrow 5

I'll prepare a drawing if needed for clarity.


Question 2(a)(i): Walk of Length 4

A walk is any sequence of vertices where consecutive vertices are connected by edges.

Steps:

  1. Select starting vertex: For example, 11.
  2. Create sequence of length 4: Ensure each consecutive pair is connected by an edge.

One possible walk: 123451 \to 2 \to 3 \to 4 \to 5.


Question 2(a)(ii): Path of Length 3 from V1V_1 to V4V_4

A path is a walk with no repeated vertices.

Steps:

  1. Start at V1=1V_1 = 1.
  2. End at V4=4V_4 = 4.
  3. Choose intermediate vertices ensuring no repetition.

One valid path: 12341 \to 2 \to 3 \to 4.


Question 2(b): Additional Details

This portion appears truncated or unclear in the uploaded file. If you clarify, I'll solve it accordingly.
