Trees
Task number: 3844
How many different graphs can be obtained by adding one new edge to a predefined tree on 10 vertices? Assume distinguished vertices, so we count the isomorphic graphs as distinct.
- 45
- 36
- 9
Solution
A tree on 10 vertices has 9 edges, the new edge can be added in \( \binom{10}2-9 = 36 \) ways.
Answer
The correct answer is b.
