For an undirected graph $G$, let $\overline{G}$ refer to the complement (a graph on the same vertex set as $G$, with $(i, j)$ as an edge in $\overline{G}$ if and only if it is not an edge in $G$ ). Consider the following statements.

  1. $G$ has a vertex-cover of size at most $k$.
  2. $\overline{G}$ has an independent set of size at least $k$.
  3. $G$ has an independent set of size at least $n-k$.
  4. $G$ has a clique of size at least $k$.
  5. $\overline{G}$ has a clique of size at least $n-k$.

Which of the following is true for any graph $G$ and its complement graph $\overline{G}$?

  1. (i) is equivalent to (iii) and (iv).
  2. (i) is equivalent to (iii) and (v).
  3. (i) is equivalent to (ii) and (iv).
  4. (i) is equivalent to (ii) and (v)

https://cs.rhodes.edu/welshc/COMP355_S14/Lecture26.pdf

page 5 pf this pdf shows the reverse of the question that is clique of size $k$ in $\overline{G}$,indipendent set of size $k$ in $G$ and vertex cover of size $n-k$ in $G$

we can put $n-k$ in place of k to get the answer in the question
