G is an undirected graph with vertex set {v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7} and edge set {v1v2, v1v3, v1v4, v2v4, v2v5, v3v4, v4v5, v4v6, v5v6, v6v7}. A breadth first search of the graph is performed with v1 as the root node. Which of the following is a tree edge ?

  1. A.

    v2v4

  2. B.

    v1v4

  3. C.

    v4v5

  4. D.

    v3v4

Attempted by 228 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

In BFS starting at v1, neighbors v2, v3, and v4 are discovered first.

Edges connecting the root to these unvisited neighbors become tree edges.

Thus, (v1, v4) is a tree edge.
