Mark Scheme for Autumn 2021Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations
OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications
include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals,
Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in
areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.
It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the
needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is
invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and
support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society.
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking
commenced.
All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report
on the examination.

3 (a) (i) The sum of the vertex orders equals the number of arc endings
Each arc has two ends so the sumber of arc endings is twice the
number of arcs
So the sum of the vertex orders is twice the number of arcs,
which is even
B1 2.1
States or uses the result that the sum of the
order of the vertices is equal to twice the
number of arcs
Alternative method
Let a graph have e edges and n nodes (vertices), let di represent
n
the order of the ith node so ∑di = 2e , which is even
i=1
B1
[1]
3 (a) (ii) The sum of the orders of all the even vertices will be an even
number so the sum of the order of the odd vertices must be an
even number too
Hence a graph must have an even number of vertices of odd
order
So no graph has an odd number of odd vertices
B1 2.2a Correctly explains why a graph cannot have
an odd number of vertices with odd order
(or must have an even number of vertices
with odd order)
Must refer to even vertices as well as odd

Flow = 152. Consistent flow pattern (flow in =
flow out at each node) – flowthrough every arc
apart from DE and EG
Condone incorrect or missingflowthrough one
arc for the M mark
A correct flow (flow ≤ capacity for each arc)
4 (f) The capacity of thecut which partitions the vertices into the sets
{S, A, B, C, E, F, G}, {D, T} is 22 + 39 + 24 + 67 = 152
[∴ minimum cut is ≤ 152 ]
By the maximum flow-minimum cut theorem the maximum
flow is equal to the minimum cut and so therefore the
maximum flow through the system is 152 litres per minute

Max flow = min cut (o.e)
4 (g) From the source there is only one non-saturated arc SA and into
the sink there is only one non-saturated arc DT. Therefore the
flow can be increased by the least of 82 – 61 = 21 and 62 – 34
= 28 giving a maximum flow of 152 + 21 = 173 (litres per
minute)
