Summary:
Let the number of $k$-element sets of independent vertices and edges of a graph $G$ be denoted by $n(G,k)$ and $m(G,k)$, respectively. It is shown that the graphs whose every component is a circuit are the only graphs for which the equality $n(G,k)=m(G,k)$ is satisfied for all values of $k$.
