Consider the following deterministic finite state automation $$M.$$

Let $$S$$ denote the set of seven bit binary strings in which the first, the fourth, and the last bits are $$1$$. The number of strings in $$S$$ that are accepted by $$M$$ is

The smallest finite automaton which accepts the language
$$L = \left. {\left\{ x \right.} \right|$$ length of $$x$$ is divisible by $$\left. 3 \right\}$$ has

The Finite state machine described by the following state diagram with $$A$$ as starting state, where an arc label is $$x/y$$ and $$x$$ stands for $$1-bit$$ input and $$y$$ stands for $$2$$-bit output

Consider a $$DFA$$ over $$\sum { = \left\{ {a,\,\,b} \right\}} $$ accepting all strings which have number of $$a'$$s divisible by $$6$$ and number of $$b'$$s divisible by $$8$$. What is the minimum number of states that the $$DFA$$ will have?
