TopicGraph Theory Fundamentals
TypeMultiple choice identification
DifficultyModerate -0.5 This is a 1-mark multiple choice question testing recognition of non-planar graphs, likely identifying K₅ or K₃,₃. While it's a Further Maths topic (making it inherently more advanced), it requires only direct application of a standard definition with no calculation or proof, making it easier than average A-level questions overall.
