(a) Let G be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges where m ≥ (^≥¹) + 2.
(i) Let v and w be any two non-adjacent vertices. Explain why the graph
G\{v, w} has at most (z2) edges (where (1)
is the binomial
coefficient).
a!
(a-b)!!b!
(ii) Is G is necessarily Hamiltonian? Justify your answer.

(b) Is it necessarily the case that for a graph with n vertices and exactly (₂¹)+1
edges be Hamiltonian? Either show this must be true of provide a counterex-
ample.
