Assuming P != NP, which of the following is true ?
(A) NP-complete = NP
(B) NP-complete 
 P = 
(C) NP-hard = NP
(D) P = NP-complete
(A) A
(B) B
(C) C
(D) D
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
The answer is B (no NP-Complete problem can be solved in polynomial time). Because, if one NP-Complete problem can be solved in polynomial time, then all NP problems can solved in polynomial time. If that is the case, then NP and P set become same which contradicts the given condition.
