A context free grammar for \(L = \{ w \mid n_{0}(w) \gt n_{1}(w) \}\) is given by :

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

\(S \rightarrow 0 \mid 0S \mid 1SS \mid S1S \mid SS1\)

Every string generated from S must have strictly more 0s than 1s, and every such string must be derivable.

Each rule keeps the surplus positive: \(S \rightarrow 0\) has surplus 1, \(0S\) adds one more 0, and \(1SS\), \(S1S\), \(SS1\) add one 1 against two strings that each have surplus at least 1.

Placing the 1 before, between or after the two S parts lets the extra 1s appear anywhere, e.g. 001 via \(S \rightarrow SS1 \Rightarrow 001\) and 010 via \(S \rightarrow S1S\).

The grammar with only 0, 0S and 1SS cannot produce strings ending in 1 such as 001, while the other two produce strings like 1 that have more 1s.

Hence, \(S \rightarrow 0 \mid 0S \mid 1SS \mid S1S \mid SS1\).
