$\text{Suppose the graph with 6 vertices has e number of edges. Therefore by Handshaking Lemma}$

$\Rightarrow d(v_1)+d(v_2)+d(v_3)+d(v_4)+d(v_5)+d(v_6)=2e$

$\text{Now, given 2 vertices are of degree 4 and 4 vertices are of degree2.} \\ \text{Hence the above equation,}$

$\hspace{2cm}(4+4)+(2+2+2+2)=2e \\ \Rightarrow \hspace{5.4cm}16=2e \hspace{2cm} \Rightarrow e=8$

$\text{Hence the number of efges in …
