Explanation Given: T 1 andT 2 are spanning trees of the simple graphGande 1 is an edge inT 1 that is not inT 2 . Proof: Lete 1 = {u, v}. The graph T 2 ∪ { e 1 } contains a (unique) simple circuitCcontaining edgee 1 . NowT 1 − {e 1 } has two components, one of which containsuand the other of which containsv. We travel along the circuitC,starting atuand not using edgee 1 first, until we first reach a vertex in the component ofT 1 − {e 1 } that containsv;obviously we must reach such a vertex eventually, since we eventually reachvitself. The edge we last traversed ise 2

Recall that the distance between two vertices, u and v, is the length of a shortest path between u and v. What is the maximum possible distance between two vertices in G? Provide an example of two vertices that are this distance apart, but not need to justify that this is the maximum possible.

Which set of edges below is the minimum spanning tree of graph G?

It is obvious that for a bipartite graph to contain a perfect matching, it is necessary that |A| = |B|. Show that if every node has the same degree, then this is indeed so.
