I'veI found this problem in my book "Riddles and reason"Reason" and after several attempts I still have no idea how to tackle it.
The problem is as follows:
The figure from below shows a truncated pyramid. How different ways can can you go from from point $A$𝐴 to point $G$𝐺 without going through by the the same vertex more than once by traveling only the segments shown and and without going through $H$𝐻?.
The alternativeschoices given are:
$\begin{array}{ll} 1.&\textrm{11}\\ 2.&\textrm{9}\\ 3.&\textrm{12}\\ 4.&\textrm{10}\\ \end{array}$
- 11
- 9
- 12
- 10
Does it exist a way to solve this usingwith a graphic or somethingexist? (perhaps this might be the best method for understanding this), is the right approachIs assigning numbers to each vertex the right approach?. There isn't any hint given. What sort of logic should be used here?.
I am not very familiar with combinatorics so if it uses them, perhaps the. The method whichthat should work best fitfor me is one which useuses multiplication which I think maybe is the way to approach this, but I don't knowcan't figure out how to do so. But ifIf combinatorics does make it less complicatedsimplifies this problem, include it could accompany the answeralongside another solution so I couldcan compare the methods. Can someone help me with this?.
