Question

String 00110010 will be accepted by a DFA that accepts?

a) 1100 as substring
b) 1010 as substring
c) only 1s
d) Only 0s

Answer 1

A DFA can accept a string if it recognizes a given substring. The string '00110010' will be accepted by a DFA that accepts only 0s.

Step-by-step explanation:

A DFA can be used to represent a regular language. In this case, the DFA would accept the string '00110010' if it recognizes the given substring. Let's break down the options:

1. a) 1100 as substring: This option is incorrect because the substring '1100' is not present in the given string.
2. b) 1010 as substring: This option is incorrect because the substring '1010' is not present in the given string.
3. c) only 1s: This option is incorrect because the given string contains both 1s and 0s.
4. d) Only 0s: This option is correct because the given string contains only 0s.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) Only 0s.
