A Network consultant company won a tender for lying of cables (fiber optic) to connect the 10 major cities [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J] with following conditions. o City A will be connected directly with [F, G, H] and [G,H, J] will be connected with [C]. o City C and J will be connected each other and both these cities will be connected with [D, E, F] via City [B] which would also have two extra cables from starting point to ending point (within) of city same as City [E,I]. o City F will be connected with all cities except for [D]. o City J will be directly connected with[ all cities except for [B,C,D] but City [C] will be connect with a special site [X] except for all above for all above cities. o Site [X] will have one extra cable (within site) from starting point to ending point. Demonstrate the all above Scenario diagrammatically.

Based on the conditions provided, I'll lay out the network connections diagrammatically:

A ----- [F] ------ [B] ------ [E]
|       / | \      / | \      / |
|       |  \    /  |  \    /  |
|     /   |   \  /   |   \  /   |
|    /    |    \/    |    \/    |
|   /     |     |    |     |    |
|  /      |     |    |     |    |
[H] ------ [G] ----- [C] ---- [J] --------- [X]
          / | \
         /  |  \
        / |   \
       /    |    \
      /     |     \
     /      |      \
[D] ---- [I] ---- [Special Site]

In this diagram:

City A is connected directly to cities F, G, and H
Cities G, H, and J are connected to city C
C and J are connected, and they are also connected to cities D, E, and F via City B
City B has two extra cables from starting point to ending point within the city; the same holds for cities E and I.
City F is connected to all cities except D
City J is directly connected with all cities except for B, C, D, but city C is connected with a special site [X], except for all the above-mentioned cities.
Site X has one extra cable from the starting point to the ending point within the site.
