### Graph Theory Problem: Paths in a Graph

**Problem Statement:**

Assume you have a graph with vertex set \( V = \{A, B, C, D, E\} \) and edge set \( E = \{CD, CB, DA, DB, EA, AA\} \).

How many paths are there from B to A?

**Options:**

- 1
- 4
- none of these are true.
- 2
- 0

**Explanation of Graph Structure:**

The graph consists of vertices \( A, B, C, D, E \) and edges that connect these vertices as follows:
- \( CD \): An edge from vertex \( C \) to \( D \).
- \( CB \): An edge from vertex \( C \) to \( B \).
- \( DA \): An edge from vertex \( D \) to \( A \).
- \( DB \): An edge from vertex \( D \) to \( B \).
- \( EA \): An edge from vertex \( E \) to \( A \).
- \( AA \): An edge from vertex \( A \) to itself.

The objective is to determine how many distinct paths exist from vertex \( B \) to vertex \( A \).
