Consider a weighted complete graph G on the vertex set {v1, v2, ..vn} such that the weight of the edge (vi, vj) is $$2|i-j|$$. The weight of a minimum spanning tree of G is:

To implement Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm on unweighted graphs so that it runs in linear time, the data structure to be used is:

Consider the following graph: Which one of the following cannot be the sequence of edges added, in that order, to a minimum spanning tree using Kruskal’s algorithm?

Let S be an NP-complete problem and Q and R be two other problems not known to be in NP. Q is polynomial time reducible to S and S is polynomial-time reducible to R. Which one of the following statements is true?
