QUESTION:

Consider the network shown in Fig. 21. (a) How many degrees of separation are there between D and J? (b) How many degrees of separation are there between A and L? (c) How many degrees of separation are there between A and K? H I K J L B C E D G F A FigurE 21

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Given figure is

The length of a shortest path joining two vertices in a network is the degree of separation of the two vertices.

The shortest path connecting vertices D and J is

D – G – H – J

The length of this path is 3.

So, the degrees of separation between the vertices D and J is 3.
