Detailed Solution

Given that,
Number of faces = 8
Number of vertices = 14.
We know Euler’s formula for Polyhedron is,
F + V = E + 2
Where F is the number of faces, V denotes the number of vertices, and E denotes the number of edges.
Here,
F = Number of faces = 8
V = Number of vertices = 14
We need to find the number of edges.
According to Euler’s formula, we get
F + V = E + 2
8 + 14 = E + 2
E + 2 = 22
E = 20
The number of edges = 20.
The correct option is (3).
