Question
The above diagram shows the weighted graph G.
Determine whether or not G is bipartite.
(i) Write down the adjacency matrix for G.
(ii) Find the number of distinct walks of length 4 beginning and ending at A.
Markscheme
G is bipartite A1
because it contains a triangle. R1
Note: Award R1 for a valid attempt at showing that the vertices cannot be divided into two disjoint sets.

(i)
{\boldsymbol{M}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&1&0&0&0&1 \\ 1&0&1&1&1&0 \\ 0&1&0&1&0&0 \\ 0&1&1&0&1&1 \\ 0&1&0&1&0&1 \\ 1&0&0&1&1&0 \end{array}} \right) A1
(ii) We require the (A, A) element of {\boldsymbol{M}^4} which is 13. M1A2
