This set of Compilers Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Transformation from NFA to DFA ”.
- Can a DFA simulate NDFA
a) No
b) Yes
c) Sometimes
d) Depends on NDFA
Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Yes it can be done through power set construction.
2. Find the wrong statement?
a) The language accepted by finite automata are the languages denoted by regular expression
b) Every DFA has a regular expression denoting its language
c) For a regular expression r, there does not exists NDFA with L® ant transit that accept
d) None of the mentioned
Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The vice versa is true.
3. Regular expression a/b denotes the set
a) {a}
b) {€,a,b}
c) {a,b}
d) {ab}
Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Either a is the output or b hence it’s {a, b}.

b) Sometimes
c) Never
d) Depends on NFA
Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: It can be done through power set construction.
5. For any DFA state {qi,qj…qm} If some qj is a final state in the NFA Then {qi,qj…qm}, is a final state in the DFA.True or False
a) True
b) False
Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: It the the standard procedure to convert NFA to DFA.
6. The relation between NFA-accepted languages and DFA accepted languages is
a) >
b) <
c) =
d) <=
Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The no of languages accepted by NFA and DFA is equal.
7. In regular expressions, the operator ‘*’ stands for
a) Concatenation
b) Selection
c) Iteration
d) Addition
Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: It indicates iterations which can vary from zero to any number.
