A graph with n nodes is connected, undirected, and acyclic. How many edges must it have? (Select the answer from the following options and prove your choice):
a) n
b) n*(n-1)
c) n- 1
d) n/2 - 1
The correct answer is option c i.e. n-1. The reason behind this is that, a connected undirected graph with n nodes and without any cycle is a tree and a tree over n vertices always has n-1 edges.
Please comment for any clarification.

Problem 6. In lecture, we saw that an undirected graph with n nodes can have at most n(n - 1)/2 edges. Such a graph necessarily has one connected component. The greatest number of edges possible in a disconnected graph, however, is smaller. Suppose that G (V, E) is a disconnected graph with n nodes, how large can |El possibly be? You do not need to prove your answer, but you should provide some explanation of how you obtained it.
We now consider undirected graphs. Recall that such a graph is • connected iff for all pairs of nodes u, w, there is a path of edges between u and w; • acyclic iff for all pairs of nodes u, w, whenever there is an edge between u and w then there is no path Given an acyclic undirected graph G with n nodes (where n ≥ 1) and a edges, your task is to prove that a ≤ n...
P9.6.3 Prove that a connected undirected graph G is bipartite if and only if there are no edges between nodes at the same level in any BFS tree for G. (An undirected graph is defined to be bipartite if its nodes can be divided into two sets X and Y such that all edges have one endpoint in X and the other in Y.) P9.6.3 Prove that a connected undirected graph G is bipartite if and only if there are...
Let G be a connected graph with n vertices and n edges. How many cycles does G have? Explain your answer.

Define the graph Gn to have the 2n nodes 20, 21,...,an-1, bo, b1, ..., bn-1 and the following edges. Each node ai, for i = 0,1,...,n - 1, is connected to the nodes b; and bk, where j = 2i mod n and k = (2i + 1) mod n (a) Prove that for every n, G, has a perfect matching. (b) How many different perfect matchings does G100 have?
How many edges are there in a connected K n/3 , 2n/3 bipartite graph that is minimal with respect to edges in terms of the size of the graph n, where n is a multiple of 3?

A 2-coloring of an undirected graph with n vertices and m edges is the assignment of one of two colors (say, red or green) to each vertex of the graph, so that no two adjacent nodes have the same color. So, if there is an edge (u,v) in the graph, either node u is red and v is green or vice versa. Give an O(n + m) time algorithm (pseudocode!) to 2-colour a graph or determine that no such coloring...
