Complexity of problems:
The practical solution of any solvable problem is complex or not is investigated by the solvability of problems. Some problems are theoretically unsolvable that means the problem has complexity which is solve by the

- P is the set of problems that can be solved in polynomial time. More formally, P is the set of decision problems (e.g. given a graph G, does this graph G contain an odd cycle) for which there exists a polynomial-time algorithm to correctly output the answer to that problem. What is NP? Consider these five options. A. NP is the set of problems that cannot be solved in polynomial time. B. NP is the set of problems whose answer can be found in polynomial time. C. NP is the set of problems whose answer cannot be found in polynomial time. D. NP is the set of problems that can be verified in polynomial time. E. NP is the set of problems that cannot be verified in polynomial time. Determine which option is correct. Answer either A, B, C, D, or E.arrow_forwardAn NP-complete problem is a fascinating kind of problem because till now no one has discovered the polynomial-time algorithm to solve it and also no one has proved that no polynomial-time algorithm can exist for any NP-complete problem. It is an open research problem since it was first posed in 1971 to prove P#NP. The NxN Queens problem can be summarized as follows: putting N chess queens on an N×N chessboard such that none of them is able to attack any other queen using the standard chess queen's moves (row-column- diagonal). Thus, a solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal. Solutions exist only for N = 1 or N 2 4. Use the given function below to test whether a queen is attacked by another or not. You are not allowed to use any other code to check if a queen is safe. Implement a backtracking solution for the algorithm in Java that finds all possible solutions for N queens and measure the execution time it takes for N=4 to 12 and compare them…arrow_forwardCould we use the ideas of the Closest Pair of Points Algorithm to solve the following problem?
