Question Details

If F, V and E are respectively the number of faces, vertices and edges of a triangular prism, then which of the following statements is true ?

Options

A

4F + 2V − 3E = 6

B

2F + 3V − 2E = 10

C

2F + 4V − 3E = 8

D

3F + 2V − 2E = 11

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

2F + 3V − 2E = 10

Solution :

The correct option is 2F + 3V − 2E = 10.

Let us identify the number of faces, vertices, and edges for a triangular prism:

A triangular prism consists of 2 triangular bases and 3 rectangular lateral faces.

Number of faces (F) = 5
Number of vertices (V) = 6
Number of edges (E) = 9

Now, let us substitute the values of F, V, and E into the equation 2F + 3V − 2E:

2(5)+3(6)2(9)

=10+1818

=10

Since the left-hand side equals 10, the statement 2F + 3V − 2E = 10 is true.
