DEFINITIONS:

  A simple graph has no "loops" and no "multiple" ("parallel") edges.

  The degree of a vertex is the number of edges for which it is an endpoint.

  A graph is bipartite if its vertices can be divided into two (disjoint) sets so that
  each edge has an endpoint in each set.

  A graph is complete if each pair of vertices are joined by an edge.

  A graph is connected if each pair of vertices are joined by a path.



  Determine whether the statement is true or false.

   i)  A graph in which each degree is even must have an even number of vertices.


                                                                                                                       ____________
                                                                                                                       True or False
   ii) If a graph is isomorphic to a bipartite graph, it is bipartite.


                                                                                                                        ____________

  iii) There is no simple graph with the degrees 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 4 , 4 .


                                                                                                                         ____________

   iv)  There is no bipartite graph with 7 vertices and more than 12 edges.


                                                                                                                         ____________

   v) Every simple graph with 7 vertices and at least 10 edges is connected.


                                                                                                                          ____________
 
  vi) Every simple graph with 10 vertices and at least 11 edges has a vertex of degree
        at least 3.


                                                                                                                          ____________
