Abbaab

Aaabab aaaababb

Which of the following statement is NOT true about TG?

Two

Four Three

FA stands for ___________. A. Fixed Automaton

B. Finite Automaton

C. False Automaton D. Functional Automaton

FA corresponding to an NFA can be built by introducing an empty state for a letter having

A. no transition at certain state ok

B. one transition at certain state C. two transitions at certain state D. more than two transitions at certain state

In order to make NFA for the union of FA1 and FA2, the final state/ states of: A. both FAs should be linked B. both FAs should be left intact

C. FA1 have a transition to the final state of FA2

D. FA2 have a transition to the final state of FA1

Suppose we have FA3 which is equal to the union of FA1 and FA2. Now the initial state of the FA3 will be equal to: A. Only initial state of FA1 B. Final state of FA2 C. Only initial state of FA2

D. Initial state of FA1 or FA2 ok

Introducing new final state in case of multiple final states is the step no. ____________ of proving Kleene’s theorem part II.
