Correct option is C
Understanding the Given Setup:
We are given an infinite binary word a = (a1 a2 a3 ...) where each ∈ {0,1}.
A fixed sequence s = (s1 s2 s3 ...) is defined as:
if and only if n is prime.
The set S is defined as:
S = { a = (a1 a2 a3 ...) | ∃ m ∈ ℕ such that ∀ n ≥ m }.
This means that each sequence in S must eventually stabilize to match s from some point onward.
Structure of S
Each element of S can be described as follows:
- The first (m-1) elements of a can be freely chosen from {0,1}.
- From some index m onward, the sequence must exactly match s.
Since m can take any natural number value, and for each m, there are
possible choices for the initial segment before stabilization, we analyze the total count of such sequences.
Determining Cardinality
1. For each fixed m, there are different sequences.
2. Since m can be any natural number, the total number of sequences in S is equivalent to the number of finite binary sequences.
3. The set of all finite binary sequences is countably infinite.
Thus, the set S has countable infinity as its cardinality.
Final Answer:
The correct choice is (C) Countably infinite.
