Question

A polyhedron can have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.

Options

  • True

  • False

MCQ
True or False

Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

We know that, Euler's formula satisfies for every polyhedron.

i.e. F + V – E = 2

Here, F = 10, E = 20

And V = 15

On putting these values in the Euler's formula, we get

10 + 15 – 20 = 2

⇒ 25 – 20 = 2

⇒ 5 ≠ 2

Hence, the given values does not satisfy the Euler's formula.
