Let G be a simple, finite, undirected graph with vertex set {$$v_1,...,v_n$$}. Let $$\Delta(G)$$ denote the maximum degree of G and let N = {1, 2, ...} denote the set of all possible colors. Color the vertices of G using the following greedy strategy:

for $$i=1,....,n$$

color($$v_i)$$ $$\leftarrow$$ min{$$j\in N$$ : no neighbour of $$v_i$$ is colored $$j$$}

Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A
This procedure results in a proper vertex coloring of G.
B
The number of colors used is at most $$\Delta(G)+1$$.
C
The number of colors used is at most $$\Delta(G)$$
D
The number of colors used is equal to the chromatic number of G.

Let $$U = \{ 1,2,3\} $$. Let 2$$^U$$ denote the powerset of U. Consider an undirected graph G whose vertex set is 2$$^U$$. For any $$A,B \in {2^U},(A,B)$$ is an edge in G if and only if (i) $$A \ne B$$, and (ii) either $$A \supseteq B$$ or $$B \supseteq A$$. For any vertex A in G, the set of all possible orderings in which the vertices of G can be visited in a Breadth First Search (BFS) starting from A is denoted by B(A).

If $$\phi$$ denotes the empty set, then the cardinality of B($$\phi$$) is ___________

Consider a simple undirected weighted graph G, all of whose edge weights are distinct. Which of the following statements about the minimum spanning trees of G is/are TRUE?

A
The edge with the second smallest weight is always part of any minimum spanning tree of G.
B
One or both of the edges with the third smallest and the fourth smallest weights are part of any minimum spanning tree of G.
C
Suppose S $$\subseteq$$ V be such that S $$\ne$$ $$\phi$$ and S $$\ne$$ V. Consider the edge with the minimum weight such that one of its vertices is in S and the other in V \ S. Such an edge will always be part of any minimum spanning tree of G.
D
G can have multiple minimum spanning trees.
