Self doubt

Question

One general doubt for minimum number of states in DFA. As explained here https://gateoverflow.in/2144/gate2011-42 If they are asking for minimum states in FA then we will consider min{dfs’s, nfa’s states} and include dead state in dfa but as we can see in these answers https://gateoverflow.in/8256/gate2015-2-53 or https://gateoverflow.in/118302/gate2017-1-22... we have not considered any dead state. Is it because it will lead to non final state itself? is that a reason or anything else?

Comments

see dead state means there is no way out in 2015 question you can see that if it is end with 10 then we can go back to final  state so there is no dead state because from dead state we can't go back it will remain there .
