If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba…

Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 63E

This exercise comes in two parts. Read Part I and answer (a) and (b), then read Part II and answer (c) and (d).

Part I. The Intergalactic Federation consists of three sovereign planets: Aila, with a population of 5.2 million, Balin, with a population of 15.1 million, and Cona, with a population of 10.6 million. The Intergalactic Parliament has 50 seats that are apportioned among the three planets based on their populations.

a. Find the standard divisor in the Intergalactic Parliament.

b. Find the apportionment of the 50 seats to the three planets under Hamilton's method.

Part II. Based on the results of a referendum, the federation expands to include a fourth planet, Dent, with a population of 9.5 million. To account for the additional population the number of seats in the Intergalactic Parliament is increased by 15 to a total of 65. [9.5 million individuals represent approximately 15 seats based on the standard divisor foundin (a).]

c. Find the apportionment of the 65 seats to the four planets using Hamilton's method.

d. Which paradox is illustrated by the results of (b) and (c)? Explain.

7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph. We prove that for every x, y, z Є V, there is a cycle in G on which x, y, and z all lie. (a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁. (b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that: ⚫each Qi starts at z; • each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are distinct; the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex 2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo, W1, and w₂). (c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)
