        <p>The connectivity of the complements of the Johnson graphs 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇) is completely characterized for every ℵ ≥ 2𝓇. A combinatorial identity as a variation of vandermonde’s identity has been established to compute the Wiener index of Johnson graphs 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇) and their compliments 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇)  (whenever connected) by utilizing the vertex-transitivity of both the families of graphs. In addition, the Szeged index of 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇) and 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇) is also obtained by using the edge transitivity and examining a connection between the topology of the vertices in both the graphs, respectively, because the complement of a symmetric graph need not to be edge-transitive, in particular, 𝒥(ℵ, 𝓇) is not edge transitive for 𝓇 ≠ 1, 2 &amp; ℵ-1.</p>
