[Note : the circuit a->b->c->a is not same as b->c->a->b] Neal Caffery asked Dec 12, 2016 Neal Caffery 527 views answer comment Share Follow See 1 comment See all 1 1 comment reply papesh commented Dec 12, 2016 reply Follow Share Take an example of cycle graph,you will get 2n euler circuits, since labels are distinct else n. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
1 votes 1 votes Few information the question has given us: 15 label nodes (therefore order matter) ; euler circuit exist (every node has even degree) ; ; minimum number of distinct circuit we have to find (from this we can say each node have degree 2). so to choose starting vertex from 15 labelled nodes we have 15C1 = 15 ways, and after this we have 2 direction to traverse the graph so 2 choices. therefore the answer is 15*2= 30 Ashish Dwivedi answered Dec 19, 2016 Ashish Dwivedi comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
