Let G be a graph with n vertices and n edges.
(a) Show that G has a cycle.
(b) Use part (a) to prove that if G has n vertices, k components, and n − k + 1 edges, then G has a cycle.
a) Let G be a graph with n vertices. If G is connected graph then as we know that a graph with n vertices and ( n-1) edges is tree , and If G is not connected, one of its connected components has at least as many edges as vertices so this component is not a tree and must contain a cycle, hence G contains a cycle
for example : graph has 4 vertices and 3 edges
then it does not contain any cycle in it .
now, in above graph if we add any edge in it , then number of edges becomes equal to number of vertices and must contain the cycle.
b) we have n vetices , k components and ( n - k + 1 ) edges.
let us take an example to prove this
in above example , we have k components and n verties .
and the edges is n - 1 - ( k - 1) = n - 1 - k + 1
= n - k edges
and now in above problem we have ( n - k + 1) edges with k components.
so if we add one edge and maintain the k components with n vertices then it will definitely contain cycle. { and above example have graph is star graph }

Let G be a connected graph with n vertices and n edges. How many cycles does G have? Explain your answer.
Let G be a directed graph on n vertices and maximum possible directed edges; assume that n ≥ 2. (a) How many directed edges are in G? Present such a digraph when n = 3 assuming vertices are 1, 2, and 3. You do not have to present a diagram, if you do not want to; you can simply present the directed edges as a set of ordered pairs. b) Is G, as specified in the problem, reflexive? Justify briefly....
Let G = (V;E) be an undirected and unweighted graph. Let S be a subset of the vertices. The graph induced on S, denoted G[S] is a graph that has vertex set S and an edge between two vertices u, v that is an element of S provided that {u,v} is an edge of G. A subset K of V is called a killer set of G if the deletion of K kills all the edges of G, that is...
