Which of the following is Not a NP Complete problem?

  1. A.

    The Clique problem

  2. B.

    Hamiltonian-Cycle problem

  3. C.

    The Travelling Salesman Problem

  4. D.

    Shortest Path Problem

Attempted by 55 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The Shortest Path Problem can be solved in polynomial time using algorithms like Dijkstra's, placing it in class P rather than NP Complete. In contrast, problems such as the Clique problem and Hamiltonian-Cycle are proven to be NP Complete because no polynomial-time solution is known.
