Solution: 1 Mark each
A polyhedron is a solid with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and vertices.
(i) This is not true. The minimum number of faces a polyhedron can have is 4. Hence 3 triangles cannot be the faces of a polyhedron.
(ii) This is true. A polyhedron with 4 triangles as faces is known as a regular tetrahedron.
(iii) This is true. A polyhedron with 1 square and 4 triangular faces is known as a square pyramid.

Euler's formula = F + V - E = 2
⇒ F + 6 - 12 = 2
F - 6 = 2
F = 8
⇒ 5 + V - 9 = 2
V - 4 = 2
V = 6
⇒ 20 + 12 - E = 2
32 - 2 = E
E = 30

(a) As it is clearly evident from the figure, when we place two cubes side by side, their length gets added, but there is no change in the other dimensions.
Length = 2 + 2 = 4 cm
Breadth = 2 cm
Height = 2 cm
(b)
Number of Faces = 5
Number of Vertices = 6
Number of Edges = 9

(i) Faces = 7, Vertices = 10, Edges = 15
By Euler's Formula, F + V - E = 2
7 + 10 - 15 = 2
17 - 15 = 2
Therefore, Euler's Theorem is verified.
(ii) Faces = 9, Vertices = 9, Edges = 16
By Euler's Formula, F + V - E = 2
9 + 9 - 16 = 2
18 - 16 = 2
Therefore, Euler's Theorem is verified.

Euler’s Formula:
Faces + Vertices – Edges = 2
1) 3 + 4 - 6 = 1
1 ≠ 2
2) 3 + 8 -12 = -1
1 ≠ 2
3) 4 + 6 - 12 = -2
-2 ≠ 2
4) 3 + 20 - 30 = -7
-7 ≠ 2
5) 5 + 12 - 30 = -13
-13 ≠ 2

(a) There are 3 vertical columns of sugar bags in this box.
The first column has 9 bags of which 5 can be seen and the other 4 are completely hidden.
The second column has 6 bags of which 4 can be seen, and similarly, the third column has 3 bags.
So, the total number of bags = 9 + 6 + 3 = 18.
(b) Now, in the second column, we can see that there is space for 3 more bags and the third column has space for 6 more bags.
The remaining space can be filled with 2 more vertical columns, each having 9 bags.
So, there is a space in the box for 3+6+(9×2)=9+18=27 more bags.

Euler's formula: F + V - E = 2
⇒ 1) 10 + 10 - E = 2
E = 20 - 2
E = 18
⇒ 2) 8 + V - 18 = 2
V = 10 + 2
V = 12
⇒ 3) 6 + 8 - E = 2
E = 14 - 2
E = 12
⇒ 4) F + 5 - 8 = 2
F = 2 + 3
F = 5
⇒ 5) 12 + V - 19 = 2
V = 2 + 7
V = 9
