Given two sequences X and Y: X = Y = The longest common subsequence of X and Y is:

A.

<b, c, a>

B.

<c, a, b>

C.

<b, c, a, a>

D.

<b, c, b, a>

 
 

Option: D

Explanation :

A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.
A sequence G is said to be a common subsequence of X and Y, if Z is a subsequence of both X and Y.
 
Here X = <a, b, c, b, d, a, >, the sequences <b,c,a>, <c,a,b>, <b,c,b,a> are subsequences of X.
 
Given a second sequence of symbols Y = <b, d, c, a, b, a>, then <b,c,a>, <c,a,b>, <b,c,b,a>  are common subsequences to both X and Y.
 
However, the longest common subsequence of X and Y is <b,c,b,a>
