Q10. At the door of an historical mansion, you receive a copy of the floor plan for
the house. Is it possible to visit every room in the house by passing through each
door exactly once? Explain your reasoning.

A B

F (outside)

Solution: Yes, it is possible to visit every room in the house by passing through
each door once. we see that the five rooms A, B, C, D, E and F have 2, 2, 2, 4, 2
and 4 doors (degrees) respectively. Thus, the problem can be solved by Theorem 1,
(b).

(If G is a connected graph and every vertex has even degree, then there is an Euler
Circuit in G)

The Euler circuit is: F, A, B, C, D, E, F.

Q13. In this exercise, no Euler circuit is possible for the graph given. For each
graph, show the minimum number of edges that would need to be traveled twice in
order to travel every edge and return to the starting vertex.

Solution: It is one possible solution. 14 10
