Proof of paths sharing a common node?

Правка en1, от mohamedeltair, 2019-09-09 00:40:15

In a directed graph, a pair of nodes $$$(a,b)$$$ is good id we have at least:

1) one path $$$x$$$ starting at a node with indegree 0 and ending at $$$a$$$.

2) one path $$$y$$$ starting at a node with indegree 0 and ending at $$$b$$$.

Where $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ don't share any node. It turns out that $$$(a,b)$$$ is not good only if:

1) At least $$$a$$$ or $$$b$$$ is/are not reachable from a node with indegree 0.

2) Or all paths which start at node with indegree 0 and end at $$$a$$$ or $$$b$$$ share a common node.

What is the proof of the $$$2^{nd}$$$ point?
