1. **State the problem:** We need to show that the graphs in problems 31 and 32 do not have a Hamiltonian circuit. A Hamiltonian circuit is a cycle that visits every vertex exactly once and returns to the starting vertex.
2. **Recall the necessary condition:** A Hamiltonian circuit must include every vertex exactly once and form a closed loop.
3. **Analyze Graph 31:**
- Vertices: $\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g\}$
- The graph consists of two rhombus-like shapes connected at vertex $c$.
- Check the degree of vertices and connectivity:
- Vertex $c$ connects the two rhombuses.
- The structure forces any path visiting all vertices to pass through $c$ twice to cover both rhombuses, which is impossible in a Hamiltonian circuit.
- Therefore, no Hamiltonian circuit exists in Graph 31.
4. **Analyze Graph 32:**
- Vertices: $\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j\}$ arranged in a grid with edges connecting adjacent vertices.
- The graph is bipartite with two sets of vertices.
- A necessary condition for a Hamiltonian circuit in bipartite graphs is that both sets have the same number of vertices.
- Here, the bipartition sets differ in size (for example, counting vertices in a checkerboard pattern).
- Hence, no Hamiltonian circuit exists.
5. **Conclusion:** Both graphs 31 and 32 fail to satisfy necessary conditions for Hamiltonian circuits, so none of them has a Hamiltonian circuit.
