Exploring Graph Theory: A Quiz

What are the basic components of a graph?

• Vertices and edges

• Nodes and links

• Points and connections

• Dots and lines

What is a complete graph?

• A graph where every vertex is connected to every other vertex

• A graph with no edges

• A graph with no vertices

• A graph that is fully colored

What does it mean for two graphs to be isomorphic?

• They are exactly identical in layout

• They have the same structure

• They have identical vertices

• They have the same color

What is the significance of graph isomorphism in mathematics?

• It helps in solving equations

• It determines the colorability of graphs

• It calculates the shortest path

• It defines graph equality based on structure, not names or shapes

How is the concept of distance used in graph theory?

• To calculate the weight of edges

• To measure physical distances only

• To determine the shortest path between servers

• To define the closeness of vertices based on edges

What is a tree in graph theory?

• A directed graph with cycles

• An undirected graph with no cycles

• A fully connected graph

• A graph with exactly one path between any two vertices

What is the difference between a tree and a forest in graph theory?

• A tree is a type of forest

• A forest is a group of disconnected trees

• There is no difference

• A forest is a single tree

What was Euler's conclusion about the Seven Bridges of Koenigsberg?

• A path crossing each bridge once is possible

• The problem is unsolvable

• Only two paths are possible

• No such path exists

What makes finding a Hamiltonian path difficult?

• There is no efficient method known for all cases

• It requires checking the degree of vertices

• It involves calculating distances

• It is only possible in directed graphs

What would you achieve if you found an efficient way to determine Hamiltonian paths?

• A certificate in graph theory

• A Nobel Prize in Physics

• A Turing Award and a Fields Medal

• A scholarship to any university
