### Educational Content on Graph Isomorphism

**Problem Statement:**

Determine whether the following pair of graphs are isomorphic. If they are, provide the isomorphism. If they are not, explain why they are not.

---

#### Graph Pair (a)

- **Graph \( G_1 \):** 
  - Vertices: \( V_1, V_2, V_3, V_4, V_5 \)
  - Edges: \( (V_1, V_2), (V_1, V_4), (V_3, V_2), (V_3, V_5), (V_5, V_4) \)
  - Structure: This graph forms an hourglass shape where the vertices are strategically interconnected.

- **Graph \( G_2 \):**
  - Vertices: \( V_1, V_2, V_3, V_4, V_5 \)
  - Edges: \( (V_1, V_2), (V_2, V_3), (V_3, V_4), (V_4, V_5), (V_5, V_1) \)
  - Structure: This graph is a simple pentagon shape, with vertices connected in a loop.

**Analysis:**

Graph \( G_1 \) and \( G_2 \) have the same number of vertices and edges. However, \( G_1 \) has intersecting edges forming two triangles, whereas \( G_2 \) is a simple cycle. Hence, they are not isomorphic since their structures do not match despite having the same vertex and edge count.

---

#### Graph Pair (b)

- **Graph \( G \):**
  - Vertices: \( V_1, V_2, V_3, V_4, V_5 \)
  - Shape: Resembles a pyramid or star, with \( V_1 \) connected to every other vertex.
  
- **Graph \( H \):**
  - Vertices: \( U_1, U_2, U_3, U_4, U_5 \)
  - Shape: It appears as a typical star graph with intersecting edges, with \( U_1 \) as the central vertex like an hourglass shape.

**Analysis:**

Graphs \( G \) and \( H \) have
