Dynamic Programming 13

0. Suppose a polynomial time algorithm is discovered that correctly computes the largest clique in a given graph. In this scenario, which one of the foliowing represents the correct Venn diagram of the complexity classes P, NP and NP Complete(NPC)?

  • Option : D
  • Explanation :
    The most important open question in complexity t heor y is whether the P = NP, which asks whether polynomial time algorithms actually exist for NP-complete and all NP problems (since a problem “C” is in NP-complete, iff C is in NP and every problem in NP is reducible to C in polynomial time). In the given question it is given that some polynomial time algorithm exists which computes the largest clique problem in the given graph which is known NP-complete problem. Hence P = NP = NP-Complete.
