Consider the DFAs M and N given above. The number of states in a minimal DFA that accepts the language L(M) ∩ L(N) is___________.

Consider the NPDA $$\left\langle {Q = \left\{ {{q_0},{q_1},{q_2}} \right\}} \right.,$$ $$\Sigma = \left \{ 0, 1 \right \},$$ $$\Gamma = \left \{ 0, 1, \perp \right \},$$ $$\delta, q_{0}, \perp,$$ $$\left. {F = \left\{ {{q_2}} \right\}} \right\rangle $$ , where (as per usual convention) $$Q$$ is the set of states, $$\Sigma$$ is the input alphabet, $$\Gamma$$ is the stack alphabet, $$\delta $$ is the state transition function q₀ is the initial state, $$\perp$$ is the initial stack symbol, and F is the set of accepting states. The state transition is as follows:

Which one of the following sequences must follow the string 101100 so that the overall string is accepted by the automaton?

The number of states in the minimal deterministic finite automaton corresponding to the regular expression $${\left( {0 + 1} \right)^{\,\, * }}\left( {10} \right)$$ is ________________.

Consider the alphabet $$\sum { = \left\{ {0,1} \right\},} $$ the null/empty string $$\lambda $$ and the sets of strings $${X_0},\,{X_1},$$ and $${X_2}$$ generated by the corresponding non-terminals of a regular grammar. $${X_0},\,\,{X_1},\,$$ and $${X_2}$$ are related as follows. $$$\eqalign{ & {X_0} = 1\,X{}_1 \cr & {X_1} = 0{X_1} + 1\,{X_2} \cr & {X_2} = 0\,{X_1} + \left\{ \lambda \right\} \cr} $$$
Which one of the following choices precisely represents the strings in $${X_0}$$?
