Solution

The correct option is D 6
Given |E|3|V|6 ...(i)

Let δ be the minimum degree of the graph.

Now δ cannot exceed the average degree of the graph.

So, δ2|E||V| ...(ii)

Substitute eq. (i) in eq. (ii) and get

δ2|v|(3|V|6)

δ612|V|

Clearly the minimum degree has to be less than 6 always and hence cannot be equal to 6.
