Consider the undirected graph G defined as follows. The vertices of G are bit strings of length n. We have an edge between vertex u and vertex v if and only if u and v differ in exactly one bit position (in other words, v can be obtained from u by flipping a single bit). The ratio of the chromatic number of G to the diameter of G is
(A) 1/(2n-a)
(B) 1/n
(C) 2/n
(D) 3/n


Answer: (C)

Explanation:

Bipartite graph:- A bipartite graph is a graph G(V,E) where vertices can be decomposed into two disjoint sets such that no two vertices within the same set are adjacent.

Diameter of a graph:- The longest shortest path in between any two vertices of a graph The given graph is a bipartite graph => chromatic number is equals to 2 The diameter of graph is equals to n because at most we need to traverse n-1 edges.

The ratio = 2/n
