Consider the following language.

L = {x $$ \in $$ {a, b}* | number of a’s in x is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 3}

The minimum number of states in a DFA that accepts L is ______.

Let $$N$$ be an $$NFA$$ with $$n$$ states. Let $$k$$ be the number of states of a minimal $$DFA$$ which is equivalent to $$N.$$ Which one of the following is necessarily true?

Given a language $$𝐿,$$ define $${L^i}$$ as follows: $${L^0} = \left\{ \varepsilon \right\}$$
$${L^i} = {L^{i - 1}}.\,\,L$$ for all $$i > 0$$

The order of a language $$L$$ is defined as the smallest k such that $${L^k} = {L^{k + 1}}.$$ Consider the language $${L_1}$$ (over alphabet $$0$$) accepted by the following automaton.

The order of $${L_1}$$ is _____.

Consider the transition diagram of a $$PDA$$ given below with input alphabet $$\sum {\, = \left\{ {a,b} \right\}} $$ and stack alphabet $$\Gamma = \left\{ {X,Z} \right\}.$$ $$Z$$ is the initial stack symbol. Let $$L$$ denote the language accepted by the $$PDA.$$

Which one of the following is TRUE?
