Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE? 

(1) The problem of determining whether there exists a cycle in an undirected graph is in P. 

 (2) The problem of determining whether there exists a cycle in an undirected graph is in NP. 

 (3) If a problem A is NP-Complete, there exists a non-deterministic polynomial time
algorithm to solve A


Options:
A .  1,2 and 3
B .  1 and 2 only
C .  2 and 3 only
D .  1 and 3 only
Answer: Option A

1. Cycle detection using DFS:  O(V + E) = O(`V^ 2`)  and it is polynomial problem 

2. Every P-problem is NP (since P `subset`  NP)

NP complete `in`  NP

Hence, NP-complete can be solved in non-deterministic polynomial time
