Solution

The correct option is A nn2

The complete graph Kn has n^n-2 different spanning trees.

If a graph is a complete graph with n vertices, then total number of spanning trees is n^(n-2) where n is the number of nodes in the graph.


A complete graph is a graph in which each pair of graph vertices is connected by an edge. The complete graph with graph vertices is denoted and has undirected edges, where is a binomial coefficient.

A spanning tree T of an undirected graph G is a subgraph that is a tree which includes all of the vertices of G, with minimum possible number of edges.
