Graphs: Chapter 21

What is the main difference between directed and undirected graphs?

Directed graphs contain cycles, while undirected graphs do not contain cycles.
In undirected graphs, nodes have labels, while in directed graphs, nodes do not have labels.
Directed graphs have only one connected component, while undirected graphs can have multiple connected components.
In directed graphs, edges have a direction, while in undirected graphs, edges do not have a direction. (correct)

What does it mean for nodes to be mutually reachable in a graph?

Nodes are mutually reachable if there is an edge between every pair of nodes.
Nodes are mutually reachable if there is a path from each node to every other node.
Nodes are mutually reachable if there is a cycle that passes through each node exactly once.
Nodes are mutually reachable if there is a path from one node to another, regardless of the direction. (correct)

What is the purpose of determining subgraphs of mutually reachable nodes in a graph?

To find the shortest path between any two nodes in the graph.
To determine if there is a path between two specific nodes in the graph.
To calculate the total number of nodes in the graph.
To identify groups of nodes that are not connected in the graph. (correct)
