Q2aLet G be a graph. We say that a set of vertices C form a vertex cover if every edge of G isincident to at least one vertex in C. We say that a set of vertices I form an independent set ifno edge in G connects two vertices from I.For example, if G is the graph above, C = [b, d, e, f, g, h, j] is a vertex cover since each ofthe 20 edges in the graph has at least one endpoint in C, and I = [a, c, i, k] is anindependent set because none of these edges appear in the graph: ac, ai, ak, ci, ck, ik.In the example above, notice that each vertex belongs to the vertex cover C or the independentset I. Do you think that this is a coincidence?In the above graph, clearly explain why the maximum size of an independent set is 5. In otherwords, carefully explain why there does not exist an independent set with 6 or more vertices.

In Computer Science a Graph is represented using an adjacency matrix. Ismatrix is a square matrix whose dimension is the total number of vertices.The following example shows the graphical representation of a graph with 5 vertices, its matrixof adjacency, degree of entry and exit of each vertex, that is, the total number ofarrows that enter or leave each vertex (verify in the image) and the loops of the graph, that issay the vertices that connect with themselvesTo program it, use Object Oriented Programming concepts (Classes, objects, attributes, methods), it can be in Java or in Python.-Declare a constant V with value 5-Declare a variable called Graph that is a VxV matrix of integers-Define a MENU procedure with the following textGRAPHS1.

Given a graph G = (V;E) an almost independent set I V is a generalization of an independent set whereeach vertex u 2 I is connected to at most one other vertex in I but no more. In other words for all u; v 2 Iif (u; v) 2 E then (u; z) =2 E for all z 2 I (equvalently (v; z) =2 E). Note that every independent set is alsoalmost independent. Prove that the problem of nding whether there exists an almost independent set ofsize k for some k, is NP-complete.
