A student wrote two context-free grammars G1 and G2 for generating a single $$C$$-like array declaration. The dimension of the array is at least one. For example, $$${\mathop{\rm int}} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,a[10]\,\,[3];$$$

The grammars use D as the start symbol, and use six terminal symbols int ; id [ ] num.

Grammar G1 Grammar G2
D → intL; D → intL;
L → id[E L → idE
E → num E → E[num]
E → num][E E → [num]

Which of the grammars correctly generate the declaration mentioned above?

A
Both G1 and G2
B
Only G1
C
Only G2
D
Neither G1 nor G2

$$\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,S \to \,\,\,\,\,\,\,F|H \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,F \to \,\,\,\,\,\,\,p|c \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,H \to \,\,\,\,\,\,\,d|c \cr} $$

where $$S, F$$ and $$H$$ are non-terminal symbols, $$p, d,$$ and $$c$$ are terminal symbols. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,S1.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,LL\left( 1 \right)\,\,$$ can parse all strings that are generated using grammar $$G$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,S2.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,LR\left( 1 \right)\,\,$$ can parse all strings that are generated using grammar $$G$$

A
Only $$S1$$
B
Only $$S2$$
C
both $$S1$$ and $$S2$$
D
Neither $$S1$$ nor $$S2$$

Consider the following two sets of LR(1) items of an LR(1) grammar.

$$\eqalign{ & X \to c.X,\,c/d\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,X \to c.X,\$ \cr & X \to .cX,c/d\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,X \to .cX,\$ \cr & X \to .d,c/d\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,X \to .d,\$ \cr} $$

Which of the following statements related to merging of the two sets in the corresponding LALR parser is/are FALSE?

1. Cannot be merged since look aheads are different.
2. Can be merged but will result in S-R conflict.
3. Can be merged but will result in R-R conflict.
4. Cannot be merged since goto on c will lead to two different sets.

A
1 only
B
2 only
C
1 and 4 only
D
1, 2, 3 and 4
