Question 10076 – Theory-of-Computation

Which one of the following is not decidable?

Correct Answer: B

Question 22 Explanation: 
(A) It is not halting problem. In halting problem number of steps can go upto infinity and that is the only reason why it becomes undecidable.

In (A) the number of steps is restricted to a finite number ‘k’ and simulating a TM for ‘k’ steps is trivially decidable because we just go to step k and output the answer.
(B) Equivalence of two TM’s is undecidable.
For options (C) and (D) we do have well defined algorithms making them decidable.
A
Given a Turing machine M, a stings s and an integer k, M accepts s within k steps
B
Equivalence of two given Turing machines
C
Language accepted by a given finite state machine is not empty
D
Language generated by a context free grammar is non empty
