Options
True
False

Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
We know that, Euler’s formula satisfies for every polyhedron.
i.e. F + V – E = 2
Here, F = 10, E = 20
And V = 15
On putting these values in the Euler’s formula, we get
10 + 15 – 20 = 2
⇒ 25 – 20 = 2
⇒ 5 ≠ 2
Hence, the given values does not satisfy the Euler’s formula.
