Which amongst the following is not an NP-complete problem ?

  • A.CNF satisfiability problem
  • B.Clique decision problem
  • C.Node Cover decision problem
  • D.Halting problem

Answer: D

The one that is not NP-complete is the Halting problem.

The halting problem, deciding whether an arbitrary program halts on a given input, is undecidable: no algorithm solves it at all. An NP-complete problem must lie in NP, which means it is decidable and its solutions can be checked in polynomial time.

CNF satisfiability (the first problem proved NP-complete, by Cook), the clique decision problem and the node (vertex) cover decision problem are all classic NP-complete problems.
