Consider the Grammar, G, with the production rule: S-> aS | bS | ε

Which of the following is generated by G?

Options : {a n b m | m,n >=0} {w ∈ {a, b}, w has equal number of a’s and b’s} {a, b} {an |n >=0} ∪ {bn |n >=0} ∪ {anbn |n >=0}

Solution

The grammar G generates the language {a, b}*. This is because the production rules of the grammar allow for any number of 'a' or 'b' to be produced, including the empty string ε.

Here's why:

  1. {a n b m | m,n >=0}: This language is not generated by G because the grammar does not enforce any specific order of 'a' and 'b'. In the grammar, 'a' and 'b' can appear in any order.

  2. {w ∈ {a, b}*, w has equal number of a’s and b’s}: This language is not generated by G because the grammar does not enforce an equal number of 'a' and 'b'.

  3. {a, b}* : This language is generated by G. The grammar allows for any number of 'a' or 'b' to be produced, in any order, including the empty string ε.

  4. {an |n >=0} ∪ {bn |n >=0} ∪ {anbn |n >=0}: This language is not generated by G because the grammar does not enforce any specific order of 'a' and 'b'. In the grammar, 'a' and 'b' can appear in any order.
