Let $${x_n}$$ denote the number of binary strings of length $$n$$ that contains no consecutive $$0s$$.

Which of the following recurrences does $${x_n}$$ satisfy?

$${x_n} = 2{x_{n - 1}}$$

$${x_n} = {x_{\left[ {n/2} \right]}} + 1$$

$${x_n} = {x_{\left[ {n/2} \right]}} + n$$

$${x_n} = {x_{n - 1}} + {x_{n - 2}}$$

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

Suppose that a robot is placed on the Cartesian plane. At each step it is allowed to move either one unit up or one unit right, i.e., if it is at $$(i, j)$$ then it can move to either $$(i+1, j)$$ or $$(i, j+1)$$

How many distinct path are there for the robot to reach the point $$(10, 10)$$ starting from the initial position $$(0, 0)$$?

$$\left( {\matrix{ {20} \cr {10} \cr } } \right)$$

$${2^{20}}$$

$${2^{10}}$$

None of the above

Suppose that the robot is not allowed to traverse the line segment from $$(4, 4)$$ to $$(5,4)$$. With this constraint, how many distinct path are there for the robot to reach $$(10, 10)$$ starting from $$(0,0)$$?

$${2^{9}}$$

$${2^{19}}$$

$$\left( {\matrix{ 8 \cr 4 \cr } } \right) \times \left( {\matrix{ {11} \cr 5 \cr } } \right)$$

$$\left( {\matrix{ {20} \cr {10} \cr } } \right) - \left( {\matrix{ 8 \cr 4 \cr } } \right) \times \left( {\matrix{ {11} \cr 5 \cr } } \right)$$
