Types of Paths and Cycles
Walk : Walk : Both vertices and edges can be repeated .
Trail : Trail : Only vertices can be repeated .
Path : Path : Both vertices and edges can not be repeated .
Cycle : Cycle : Starts and ends at the same vertex and both vertices and edges can not be repeated .
Circuit : Circuit : Starts and ends at the same vertex and only vertices can be repeated .
Since we are looking for a circuit, we can start by finding a sequence that starts and end at the same vertex .
Only the sequence A − D − E − C − B − E − A A - D - E - C - B - E - A fits this category.
To check if this sequence is a circuit of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence repeats the vertices only .
The sequence started and ended at the same vertex and only repeated vertices . Therefore, sequence A − D − E − C − B − E − A A - D - E - C - B - E - A is a circuit of the given network.
A − D − E − C − B − E − A A - D - E - C - B - E - A

Cycle : Cycle : Starts and end at the same vertex and both vertices and edges can not be repeated .
Circuit : Circuit : Starts and end at the same vertex and only vertices can be repeated .
Since we are looking for a trail, we can start by finding a sequence that does not repeat an edge .
The sequences A − E − C − D − E − A A - E - C - D - E - A , A − B − E − C − E A - B - E - C - E and A − D − C − B − A − D A - D - C - B - A - D are not trails because they have repeating edges.
Only the sequence A − E − B − C − D − E − C A - E - B - C - D - E - C fits the category of a trail.
To check if this sequence is a trail of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence repeats the vertices only .
The sequence only repeats vertices . Therefore, sequence A − E − B − C − D − E − C A - E - B - C - D - E - C is a trail of the given network.
A − E − B − C − D − E − C A - E - B - C - D - E - C

Circuit : Circuit : Starts and end at the same vertex and only vertices can be repeated .
Since we are looking for a path, we can start by finding a sequence that does not repeat a vertex or an edge .
The sequences A − E − C − D − E − A A - E - C - D - E - A , A − B − E − C − E A - B - E - C - E and A − D − C − B − A − D A - D - C - B - A - D are not paths because they have repeating edges.
Only the sequence A − B − D − C − E A - B - D - C - E fits the category of a path.
To check if this sequence is a path of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence does not repeat a vertex or an edge .
The sequence does not repeat any vertex or edge . Therefore, sequence A − B − D − C − E A - B - D - C - E is a path of the given network.

Since we are looking for a cycle, we can start by finding a sequence that starts and ends at the same vertex and does not repeat a vertex or an edge .
The sequences A − B − C − D A - B - C - D , A − B − C − D − E A - B - C - D - E and A − E − C − B − E A - E - C - B - E are not cycles because they do not start and end on the same vertex.
Only the sequence C − E − D − C C - E - D - C fits the category of a cycle.
To check if this sequence is a cycle of the given network, draw a diagram and check if the sequence starts and end at the same vertex and does not repeat a vertex or an edge .
The sequence starts and end at the same vertex and does not repeat any vertex or edge . Therefore, sequence C − E − D − C C - E - D - C is a cycle of the given network.
