    Any string of terminals that can be generated by the following context free grammar (where S is start nonterminal symbol) S → XY X → 0X|1X|0
    Question



    Any string of terminals that can be generated by the following context free grammar (where S is start nonterminal symbol)
    S → XY
    X → 0X|1X|0
    Y → Y0|Y1|0

    A.

    has at least one 1

    B.

    should end with 0

    C.

    has no consecutive 0’s or 1’s

    D.

    has at least two 0’s

    Correct option is D


    We are tasked with analyzing the strings generated by the given Context-Free Grammar (CFG):
    Grammar Rules:
    1. S → XY
    2. X → 0X|1X|0
    3. Y → Y0|Y1|0
    Grammar Analysis
    · The production S → XY combines strings generated by X and Y.
    · X → 0X | 1X | 0: This generates any string ending in 0, e.g., 0, 01, 10, 010, etc.
    · Y → Y0 | Y1 | 0: This generates strings starting with 0 and can end with multiple 0s or 1s.
    Information Booster:
    Option (a): "Has at least one 1"
    · Strings like 000 can be generated (no 1 present).
    · Hence, this is false.
    Option (b): "Has no consecutive 0's or 1's"
    · Strings like 00 can be generated, which has consecutive 0s.
    · Hence, this is false.
    Option (c): "Should end with 0"
    · The grammar allows strings like 1 (not ending with 0).
    · Hence, this is false.
    Option (d): "Has at least two 0's"
    · The production rules ensure there will always be at least two 0s in any valid string.
    · Hence, this is true.
