प्रश्न

Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

\[\text { No, because every polyhedron satisfies Euler's formula, given below: }\]

\[\text { F+V=E+2 }\]

\[\text { Here, number of faces F = 10 }\]

\[\text { Number of edges E = 20 }\]

\[\text { Number of vertices V = 15 }\]

\[\text { So, by Euler's formula: }\]

\[\text { LHS: 10+15 = 25 }\]

\[\text { RHS: 20 + 2 = 22 }, \]

\[\text { which is not true because 25 }\neq22\]

\[\text { Hence, Eulers formula is not satisfied and no polyhedron may be formed .}\]
