(a)
To find:
The in degree and out degree of A in the given digraph.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The in degree of A is 3 and out degree of A is 2.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given digraph is shown in figure (1).
Figure (1)
Definitions:
Arc:
An arc
Indegree:
For a vertex Y, the number of arcs having Y as their ending vertex is called indegree.
Outdegree:
For a vertex X, the number of arcs having X as their starting vertex is called outdegree.
Calculation:
From figure (1) it can be noticed that there are 3 arcs having their ending vertex as A and 2 arcs having their starting vertex as A.
So, the indegree of A is 3 and outdegree of A is 2.
Conclusion:
Thus, the indegree of A is 3 and outdegree of A is 2.
(b)
To find:
The in degree and out degree of B in the given digraph.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The in degree of B is 2 and out degree of B is 2.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given digraph is shown in figure (2).
Figure (2)
Definitions:
Arc:
An arc
Indegree:
For a vertex Y, the number of arcs having Y as their ending vertex is called indegree.
Outdegree:
For a vertex X, the number of arcs having X as their starting vertex is called outdegree.
Calculation:
From figure (2) it can be noticed that there are 2 arcs having their ending vertex as B and 2 arcs having their starting vertex as B.
So, the indegree of B is 2 and outdegree of A is 2.
Conclusion:
Thus, the indegree of B is 2 and outdegree of B is 2.
(c)
To find:
The in degree and out degree of D in the given digraph.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The in degree of D is 3 and out degree of D is 0.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given digraph is shown in figure (3).
Figure (3)
Definitions:
Arc:
An arc
Indegree:
For a vertex Y, the number of arcs having Y as their ending vertex is called indegree.
Outdegree:
For a vertex X, the number of arcs having X as their starting vertex is called outdegree.
Calculation:
From figure (3) it can be noticed that there are 3 arcs having their ending vertex as D and no arc having their starting vertex as D.
So, the indegree of D is 3 and outdegree of D is 0.
Conclusion:
Thus, the indegree of D is 3 and outdegree of D is 0.
(d)
To find:
The sum of the in degrees of all the vertices.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The sum of all the indegrees is 10.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given digraph is shown in figure (4).
Figure (4)
Definitions:
Arc:
An arc
Indegree:
For a vertex Y, the number of arcs having Y as their ending vertex is called indegree.
Outdegree:
For a vertex X, the number of arcs having X as their starting vertex is called outdegree.
Calculation:
From figure (4) it can be noticed that there total 10 arcs, so there will be total 10 indegrees for all the vertices.
Conclusion:
Thus, the sum of all the indegrees is 10.
(e)
To find:
The sum of the out degrees of all the vertices.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The sum of all the outdegrees is 10.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given digraph is shown in figure (5).
Figure (5)
Definitions:
Arc:
An arc
Indegree:
For a vertex Y, the number of arcs having Y as their ending vertex is called indegree.
Outdegree:
For a vertex X, the number of arcs having X as their starting vertex is called outdegree.
Calculation:
From figure (5) it can be noticed that there total 10 arcs, so there will be total 10 outdegrees for all the vertices.
Conclusion:
Thus, the sum of all the outdegrees is 10.
