Here's the Solution to this Question
Since tree (T) is a connected graph, there exist at least one path between every pair of vertices in a tree (T). Now, suppose between two vertices a and b of the tree (T) there exist two paths. The union of these two paths will contain a circuit and tree (T) cannot be a tree. Hence the above statement is proved.
