Here's the Solution to this Question

Cycles in graphs are of two types :

  1. self loops
  2. simple closed paths.

Thus, a simple closed path is always a cycle (but vice versa is not true).


Now, if e is an edge in a simple closed path, means e belongs to a simple closed path in the graph.

And as every simple closed path is a cycle.

Thus, e belongs to some cycle in the graph.


Hence proved.
