 Solution

A context-free grammar is a quadruple $(V,\Sigma ,P,S)$ consisting of finite nonterminal and terminal alphabets, a set of productions $A\to \alpha$ with one nonterminal $A$ on the left, and a start symbol $S$. A context-free language is a language generated by such a grammar.

The pumping lemma for context-free languages says that there is a pumping length $p$ such that every $w$ in the language with $|w|\ge p$ can be writtenwith $|vxy|\le p$, $|vy|>0$, and $u{v}^{i}x{y}^{i}z$ in the language for every integer $i\ge 0$.

The language in (i) is not context-free. If it were, pumpThe substring $vxy$, having length at most $p$, cannot meet both the $a$- and $c$-blocks. If pumping changes the number of $a$'s or $c$'s, those two counts cease to agree. If it changes neither, it changes the number of $b$'s while the outer counts remain $p$, so the middle count ceases to be $2p$. Every permitted decomposition therefore fails, contradicting the pumping lemma.
