Question
If the DFS tree does not have any back edges, then there are no cycles in the graph.
Group of answer choices
True
False
Solution
The statement is True.
In a Depth-First Search (DFS) tree, a back edge is an edge that is joining a node to itself (self-loop) or one of its ancestors in the tree produced by DFS. Therefore, the existence of a back edge indicates a cycle in the graph.
So, if the DFS tree does not have any back edges, it means there are no cycles in the graph.
