SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS |
(a) |
Show that every tree with at least two vertices has at least one vertex of odd degree. If every vertex were of even degree then since trees are connected (one mark )the tree would have an Euler cycle (one mark ). Since trees have no cycles at all,this cannot happen (one mark ).
