Detailed Solution

It is given a pentagonal prism.
According to Euler's Formula, F + V - E = 2.
Where F = number of faces,
V = number of vertices,
E = number of edges.
A Pentagonal prism is a polyhedron with 10 vertices, 15 edges, and 7 faces.
Number Faces = F = 7
Number of edges = E = 15
Number of vertices = V = 10
Now take, LHS = F + V - E
  7 + 10 -15
  17 - 15
  2
We know RHS = 2.
So, LHS = RHS
Hence, Euler's Formula is true for pentagonal prisms.
Correct option is 1.
