Which of the following cannot be true for a polyhedron?
Option (a) V = 4, F = 4, E = 6
According to Euler’s formula, F + V-E = 2 where F = face, V = vertices and E = edge
So, from the given
⇒ 4 + 4-6 = 2
⇒ 8-6 = 2
⇒ 2 = 2
⇒LHS = RHS. it is true for a polyhedron
(b) V = 6, F = 8, E = 12
According to Euler’s formula, F + V-E = 2 where F = face, V = vertices and E = edge
So, from the given
⇒ 8 + 6-12 = 2
⇒ 14-12 = 2
⇒ 2 = 2
⇒LHS = RHS. it is true for a polyhedron
(c) V = 20, F = 12, E = 30
According to Euler’s formula, F + V-E = 2 where F = face, V = vertices and E = edge
So, from the given
⇒ 12 + 20-30 = 2
⇒ 32-30 = 2
⇒ 2 = 2
⇒LHS = RHS. it is true for a polyhedron
(d) V = 4, F = 6, E = 6
According to Euler’s formula, F + V-E = 2 where F = face, V = vertices and E = edge
So, from the given
⇒ 6 + 4-6 = 2
⇒ 10-6 = 4 = LHS
⇒ RHS = 2
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS. it is not true for a polyhedron
