What is the chromatic number of a graph?

  1. The minimum number of colors required to color the vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color.

  2. The maximum number of colors required to color the vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color.

  3. The number of vertices in a graph.

  4. The number of edges in a graph.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The chromatic number of a graph is a fundamental parameter that determines the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices of the graph without creating any conflicts.

What is the difference between vertex coloring and edge coloring?

  1. Vertex coloring assigns colors to vertices, while edge coloring assigns colors to edges.

  2. Vertex coloring assigns colors to edges, while edge coloring assigns colors to vertices.

  3. Both vertex coloring and edge coloring assign colors to vertices.

  4. Both vertex coloring and edge coloring assign colors to edges.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vertex coloring and edge coloring are two different ways of assigning colors to the elements of a graph. Vertex coloring assigns colors to vertices, while edge coloring assigns colors to edges.

What is the relationship between the chromatic number of a graph and its maximum degree?

  1. The chromatic number of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree.

  2. The chromatic number of a graph is always less than or equal to its maximum degree.

  3. The chromatic number of a graph is always equal to its maximum degree.

  4. There is no relationship between the chromatic number of a graph and its maximum degree.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The chromatic number of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree because each vertex in a graph must be assigned a different color from its adjacent vertices.

Which of the following graphs has a chromatic number of 3?

  1. A cycle graph with 5 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 4 vertices.

  3. A tree with 6 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 7 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A complete graph with 4 vertices has a chromatic number of 3 because it requires at least 3 colors to color the vertices such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color.

Which of the following graphs has a chromatic number of 2?

  1. A cycle graph with 4 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 3 vertices.

  3. A tree with 5 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 6 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A bipartite graph with 6 vertices has a chromatic number of 2 because it can be colored using only 2 colors such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color.

What is the edge chromatic number of a graph?

  1. The minimum number of colors required to color the edges of a graph such that no two adjacent edges have the same color.

  2. The maximum number of colors required to color the edges of a graph such that no two adjacent edges have the same color.

  3. The number of vertices in a graph.

  4. The number of edges in a graph.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The edge chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to color the edges of the graph without creating any conflicts.

What is the relationship between the edge chromatic number of a graph and its maximum degree?

  1. The edge chromatic number of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree.

  2. The edge chromatic number of a graph is always less than or equal to its maximum degree.

  3. The edge chromatic number of a graph is always equal to its maximum degree.

  4. There is no relationship between the edge chromatic number of a graph and its maximum degree.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The edge chromatic number of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree because each edge in a graph must be assigned a different color from its adjacent edges.

Which of the following graphs has an edge chromatic number of 3?

  1. A cycle graph with 5 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 4 vertices.

  3. A tree with 6 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 7 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A complete graph with 4 vertices has an edge chromatic number of 3 because it requires at least 3 colors to color the edges such that no two adjacent edges have the same color.

Which of the following graphs has an edge chromatic number of 2?

  1. A cycle graph with 4 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 3 vertices.

  3. A tree with 5 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 6 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A bipartite graph with 6 vertices has an edge chromatic number of 2 because it can be colored using only 2 colors such that no two adjacent edges have the same color.

What is the relationship between the chromatic number and the edge chromatic number of a graph?

  1. The chromatic number is always greater than or equal to the edge chromatic number.

  2. The chromatic number is always less than or equal to the edge chromatic number.

  3. The chromatic number is always equal to the edge chromatic number.

  4. There is no relationship between the chromatic number and the edge chromatic number.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The chromatic number is always greater than or equal to the edge chromatic number because the edges of a graph can be colored using at most the same number of colors as the vertices.

What is the chromatic index of a graph?

  1. The minimum number of colors required to color the vertices and edges of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices or edges have the same color.

  2. The maximum number of colors required to color the vertices and edges of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices or edges have the same color.

  3. The number of vertices in a graph.

  4. The number of edges in a graph.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices and edges of the graph without creating any conflicts.

What is the relationship between the chromatic index of a graph and its maximum degree?

  1. The chromatic index of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree.

  2. The chromatic index of a graph is always less than or equal to its maximum degree.

  3. The chromatic index of a graph is always equal to its maximum degree.

  4. There is no relationship between the chromatic index of a graph and its maximum degree.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The chromatic index of a graph is always greater than or equal to its maximum degree because each vertex and edge in a graph must be assigned a different color from its adjacent vertices and edges.

Which of the following graphs has a chromatic index of 4?

  1. A cycle graph with 5 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 4 vertices.

  3. A tree with 6 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 7 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A complete graph with 4 vertices has a chromatic index of 4 because it requires at least 4 colors to color the vertices and edges such that no two adjacent vertices or edges have the same color.

Which of the following graphs has a chromatic index of 3?

  1. A cycle graph with 4 vertices.

  2. A complete graph with 3 vertices.

  3. A tree with 5 vertices.

  4. A bipartite graph with 6 vertices.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A bipartite graph with 6 vertices has a chromatic index of 3 because it can be colored using only 3 colors such that no two adjacent vertices or edges have the same color.
