You are given a graph on n which contains just two disjoint cycles on n/2 vertices (assume that n is even). You select uniformly at random two vertices u and v from G amoung all pair of vertices that do not have an edge between them. Let G 0 ← G ∪ (u, v). That is we insert an edge between u and v. What is the probability that G 0 is connected
