Define Languages $${L_0}$$ and $${L_1}$$ as follows
$${L_0} = \left\{ { < M,\,w,\,0 > \left| {M\,\,} \right.} \right.$$ halts on $$\left. w \right\}$$
$${L_1} = \left\{ { < M,w,1 > \left| M \right.} \right.$$ does not halts on $$\left. w \right\}$$

Here $$ < M,\,w,\,i > $$ is a triplet, whose first component, $$M$$ is an encoding of a Turing Machine, second component, $$w$$, is a string, and third component, $$t,$$ is a bit.
Let $$L = {L_0} \cup {L_1}.$$ Which of the following is true?

A
$$L$$ is recursively enumerable, but $$\overline L $$ is not
B
$$\overline L $$ is recursively enumerable, but $$L$$ is not
C
Both $$L$$ and $$\overline L $$ are recursive
D
Neither $$L$$ nor $$\overline L $$ is recursive enumerable

A single tape Turing Machine $$M$$ has two states $${q_0}$$ and $${q_1}$$, of which $${q_0}$$ is the starting state. The tape alphabet of $$M$$ is $$\left\{ {0,\,\,1,\,\,B} \right\}$$ and its input alphabet is $$\left\{ {0,\,\,1} \right\}$$. The symbol $$B$$ is the blank symbol used to indicate end of an input string. The transition function of $$M$$ is described in the following table. GATE CSE 2003 Theory of Computation - Recursively Enumerable Language and Turing Machine Question 22 English

The table is interpreted as illustrated below. The entry $$\left( {{q_1},1,\,R} \right)$$ in row $${{q_0}}$$ and column $$1$$ signifies that if $$M$$ is in state $${{q_0}}$$ and reads $$1$$ on the current tape square, then it writes $$1$$ on the same tape square, moves its tape head one position to the right and transitions to state $${{q_1}}$$.

Which of the following statements is true about $$M?$$

A
$$M$$ does not halt on any string in $${\left( {0 + 1} \right)^ + }$$
B
$$M$$ does not halt on any string in $${\left( {00 + 1} \right)^ + }$$
C
$$M$$ halts on all string ending in a $$0$$
D
$$M$$ halts on all string ending in $$a$$

Nobody knows yet if $$P=NP$$. Consider the language $$L$$ defined as follows
$$L = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\left( {0 + 1} \right)}^ * }\,\,\,if\,\,P = NP} \cr {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\phi \,\,\,\,Otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$

Which of the following statement is true?

A
$$L$$ is recursive
B
$$L$$ is recursively enumerable but not recursive
C
$$L$$ is not recursively enumerable
D
Whether $$L$$ is recursive or not will be known after we find out if $$P=NP.$$
