In a tree on a vertices there is exactly one vertex with degree 2 and remaining vertices are of degree either 1 or 3. Then the number of pendant vertices is
1
2
3
4
Official Solution
Correct Option: (3)
Step 1: Let = number of degree 1 vertices, = number of degree 3 vertices. Then total vertices .} Step 2: Sum of degrees = . Also . Solve: . So . For tree, need integer solution. gives . So pendant vertices = .}

Is it possible for wheel ( ) to be bipartite?
1
No
2
Yes
3
Do not say
4
None of these
Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Step 1: Wheel has a central vertex connected to all vertices of a cycle .} Step 2: For , the cycle is odd when is odd, i.e., even. But the central vertex creates odd cycles. So is not bipartite for any .}

disconnected
3
Neither connected nor disconnected
4
None of the above
Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
A graph is connected if there is a path between any two vertices. Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
The graph shown has all vertices connected to each other through some path. There is no isolated vertex or separate component. Step 3: Final Answer:
Connected.

The vertex connectivity of any tree is
1
one
2
two
3
three
4
None of these
Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Vertex connectivity is the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
A tree has at least one leaf (vertex of degree 1). Removing a leaf does not disconnect the tree. However, removing a cut vertex (articulation point) disconnects it. The vertex connectivity of any tree is 1. Step 3: Final Answer:
One.
