Given below are two statements

Statement I: In an undirected graph, number of odd degree vertices is even.

Statement II: In an undirected graph, sum of degrees of all vertices is even. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Explanation

The sum of degrees is twice the number of edges, so it is even (II), and therefore the number of odd-degree vertices must be even (I).
