Odd Vertex Implication 4359Cd
1. The problem asks about the implication on a connected graph if the number of vertices with odd degree is 1.
2. According to graph theory, specifically Eulerian path and circuit properties:
- An Euler Circuit exists if and only if every vertex has an even degree.
- An Euler Path (but not a circuit) exists if exactly two vertices have odd degree.
- If there are more than two vertices with odd degree, no Euler Path or Circuit exists.
3. Important rule: The number of vertices with odd degree in any graph is always even (this is a fundamental property of graphs).
4. Since the problem states there is exactly 1 odd vertex, this contradicts the rule that the number of odd degree vertices must be even.
5. Therefore, having exactly 1 odd vertex is impossible in a connected graph.
6. Hence, the correct implication is that such a graph cannot exist or be drawn with exactly one odd vertex.
Final answer: a. It is impossible to be drawn
