a) Show that the problem of k-colorability is reduced to the problem of (k + 1)-colorability.
b) We know that the problem of 2-colorability is in class P. Can we then deduce from question a) above that problem of 3-colorability is also in class P? Explain your answer.
a. Problem of k-colorability can be reduced to k+1 colorability by given the graph G=(V,E) where we have to check whether k-colorability exist for this graph, can be reduced to graph G'=(V',E') for problem instance of (k+1)-colorability by adding a new vertex v which will be connected with all other vertices of V in G=(V,E). Now if k-coloring exist for original graph G, then since vertex v is connected with every other vertices of V, therefore vertex v has to be assigned a different colour than colour of other vertices. Therefore if k-colouring exist for graph G then k+1 coloring exist for graph G'. Similarly if k+1 coloring exist for graph G' then since additional vertex v has different colour then all other vertices therefore by removing vertex v from G' to make original graph G, G will have atmost k-colours. So this reduction is correct.
So k-colorability is polynomial time reducible to (k+1)-colorability.
b. Reducing 2-colorability problem which is in P into a 3-colorability problem does not means that 3-colorability problem is also in P. If 3-colorability problem could be reduce in polynomial time to 2-colorability problem then we can definitely say that 3-colorability problem is in P. But since the reverse side is not true. Therefore reduction from 2-colorability problem to 3-colorability problem does not means 3-colorability is in NP.
Please comment for any clarification.

Please answer as neatly as possible. Much thanks in advance! Question 1: 6. In Problem 1, show that θ2 is a consistent estimator for θ. Deduce that Y(n) is a consistent estimator for θ and also asyınpt○tically unbiased estimator for θ. 1. Let Yi, ½, . . . ,y, denote a random sample from an uniform distribution on the interval (0,0). We have seen that (1) and 62 Ym are unbiased estimators for 0. Find the efficiency of 6 relative...
9.3 assume that k = ROE, we can show that the price P0 does not depend on r. To see this, let g = r x ROE, and ROE = Yn / En-1. Since r = 1 – (Dn/Yn), then D1 = (1–r) x Y1 and P0 = D1 / (k–g) P0 = [(1–r) x Y1] / (k–g) P0 = [(1–r) x Y1] / (k–g), but, since k = ROE = Y1 / E0, P0 = [(1–r) x Y1] / (ROE–...

Our approach will be to show that for all ε > 0 there are partitions Q1 and Q2 of [a, b) and [b, c] respectively with Thus, let ε > 0 be given. By our fundamental lemma there exists a partition P of [a, c) such that U...
