Automata Theory Objective Questions Answers

Questions
1 The recognizing capability of NDFSM and DFSM
A must be the same
B may be different
C must be different
D none of the above

Answer: Option [A]

The recognizing capability of NDFSM and DFSM both are same. Because it is possible to generate equivalent DFSM from NDFSM and Vice versa.
