Answer
(a) Here, F = 5, E = 9 and V = 6
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 6 + 5 = 9 + 2
⇒ 11 = 11
Hence, verified.
(b) Here, F = 6, E = 12 and V = 8
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 8 + 6 = 12 + 2
⇒ 14 = 14
Hence, verified.
(c) Here, F = 7, E = 15 and V = 10
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 10 + 7 = 15 + 2
⇒ 17 = 17
Hence, verified.
(d) Here, F = 4, E = 6 and V = 4
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 4 + 4 = 6 + 2
⇒ 8 = 8
Hence, verified.
