Question 1 of 4
1. Question
Using the given network, which of the following sequences is a circuit?
Hint
Help VideoCorrect
Correct!
Incorrect
Types of Paths and Cycles
`\text(Walk):` Both vertices and edges can be repeated.`\text(Trail):` Only vertices can be repeated.`\text(Path):` Both vertices and edges can not be repeated.`\text(Cycle):` Starts and ends at the same vertex and both vertices and edges can not be repeated.`\text(Circuit):` Starts and ends at the same vertex and only vertices can be repeated.Since we are looking for a circuit, we can start by finding a sequence that starts and end at the same vertex.
Only the sequence `A-D-E-C-B-E-A` fits this category.To check if this sequence is a circuit of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence repeats the vertices only.
The sequence started and ended at the same vertex and only repeated vertices. Therefore, sequence `A-D-E-C-B-E-A` is a circuit of the given network.`A-D-E-C-B-E-A` -

Only the sequence `A-E-B-C-D-E-C` fits the category of a trail.To check if this sequence is a trail of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence repeats the vertices only.
The sequence only repeats vertices. Therefore, sequence `A-E-B-C-D-E-C` is a trail of the given network.`A-E-B-C-D-E-C` -

`A-D-C-E-C`
`A-B-C-B`
Only the sequence `A-B-D-C-E` fits the category of a path.To check if this sequence is a path of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence does not repeat a vertex or an edge.
The sequence does not repeat any vertex or edge. Therefore, sequence `A-B-D-C-E` is a path of the given network.`A-B-D-C-E` -

Only the sequence `C-E-D-C` fits the category of a cycle.To check if this sequence is a cycle of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence starts and end at the same vertex and does not repeat a vertex or an edge.
The sequence starts and end at the same vertex and does not repeat any vertex or edge. Therefore, sequence `C-E-D-C` is a cycle of the given network.`C-E-D-C`
