can a polyhedron have 12 faces,15 edges , 20 vertices. explain

No.

Because according to Euler's Theorm

Faces + Vertices - edges = 2

But here, faces = 12 , vertices = 15  , edges = 20

so, 12 + 15 - 20 = 7 that is not equal to 2.

This equation is not satisfying.
Hence it is not possible to have such polyhedron.

NO BECAUSE

THERE IS ANOTHER METHOD OF EULER'S FORMULA

Because according to Euler Theorm

Faces+Vertices = Edges+2

HERE- 12+15 IS NOT EQUAL TO 20+2

27 IS NOT EQUAL TO 22

This equation is not satisfying
