A Turing Machine for the language \(\mathrm{L}=\left\{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{b}^{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{c}^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{d}^{\mathrm{m}} \mid \mathrm{n} \geq 1, \mathrm{~m} \geq 1\right\}\) is designed. The resultant model is \(M =\)\(\left(\left\{\mathrm{q}_{0}, \mathrm{q}_{1}, \mathrm{q}_{2}, \mathrm{q}_{3}, \mathrm{q}_{4}, \mathrm{q}_{5}, \mathrm{q}_{6}, \mathrm{q}_{7}, \mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{f}}\right\},\{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}\},\left\{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{X}_{1}, \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{Y}_{1}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}\right\}, \delta, \mathrm{q}_{0}, \mathrm{~B},\left\{\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{f}}\right\}\right)\) and part of \(' 𝛿 '\) is given in the transition table. You need to write the following questions based on design of Turing Machine for the given language. Note that, while designing the Turing Machine \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are used to work with \(′𝑎′𝑠\) and \(′𝑐′𝑠\) and \(Y_1\) and \(Y_2\) are used to handle \(′𝑏′𝑠\) and \(′𝑑′𝑠\) of the given string.
\(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & \mathrm{a} & \mathrm{b} & \mathrm{c} & \mathrm{d} & \mathrm{X}_{1} & \mathrm{X}_{2} & \mathrm{Y}_{1} & \mathrm{Y}_{2} & \mathrm{~B} \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{0} & \left(\mathrm{q}_{1}, \mathrm{X}_{1}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & & & \mathrm{M} 2 & & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{1} & \left(\mathrm{q}_{1}, \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \left(\mathrm{q}_{1}, \mathrm{~b}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \mathrm{M} 1 & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{1}, \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{2} & \left(\mathrm{q}_{2}, \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{L}\right) & \left(\mathrm{q}_{2}, \mathrm{~b}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{2}, \mathrm{X}_{1}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \left(\mathrm{q}_{2}, \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{3} & \mathrm{M} 3 & \left(\mathrm{q}_{4}, \mathrm{Y}_{1}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{6} \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{4} & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{4}, \mathrm{~b}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{5}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & & \mathrm{M} 5 & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{4}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{5} & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{5}, \mathrm{~b}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{5}, \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & \mathrm{M} 4 & \left(\mathrm{q}_{5}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}, \mathrm{~L}\right) & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{6} & & & & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{6}, \mathrm{X}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{7}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \\ \hline \mathrm{q}_{7} & & & & & & & & \left(\mathrm{q}_{7}, \mathrm{Y}_{2}, \mathrm{R}\right) & \left(\mathrm{q}_{6}, \mathrm{~B}, \mathrm{R}\right) \\ \hline \end{array}\)

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Final transition: (q5, Y1, L)
Reasoning:
Locate M4 in the transition table: it sits at the intersection of row q5 and column Y1.
Interpretation of row q5: the machine continues moving left over processed Y1 symbols to return toward the left part of the tape.
Therefore the correct transition written in M4 is to remain in state q5, write (or leave) Y1, and move left: (q5, Y1, L).
