I was trying to construct a graph $G_1$ and $G_2$, wherein both graphs $P_4$ is an induced graph. Graph $G_1$ is such that it contains exactly one vertex of eccentricity two and rest of the vertices with eccentricity three. Similarly,
the graph $G_2$ is such that it contains exactly one vertex of eccentricity three and the rest of the vertices with eccentricity four. In both the cases, $P_4$ is induced in $G_1$ and $G_2$.



I tried in the following manner.



For $G_1$, I added $6$ vertices to $P_4$ and got the result, and for
$G_2$, I added $10$ vertices to $P_4$ and got the result. However, later I got that $G_1$ can be obtained with the fewer number of vertices. Can $G_2$ be also obtained by adding less than $10$ vertices, if possible?
Kindly help me to get the graph. Any hint or suggestion is helpful.



My attempt : (numbers are the eccentricity of the vertices)
