Call a string of letters legal if it can be produced by concatenating ( running together ) copies of the following strings: ' v '

Call a string of letters "legal" if it can be produced by concatenating (running together) copies of the following strings:
' v ','ww',' xx ',' yy ' and ' zzz'.
For example, the string ' xxvvv' is legal because it can be produced by concatenating ' xx ', v ' and ' v ', but the string ' xxxv'is not legal.
For each integer n>=1, let t_(n) be the number of legal strings with n letters. For example, t_(1)=1(' v ' is the only the legal string).
t_(2)=
t_(3)=
t_(n)=at_(n-1)+bt_(n-2)+ct_(n-3) for each integer n>=4
where a=,b=, and c=
For each integer n>=1, let p_(n) be the number of legal strings with n letters that also read the same right to left as they do left to right (like ' xxvxx' for example).
Which of the following expressions is equal to p_(101)?
p_(50)+p_(49)
t_(50)+t_(48)
t_(50)+t_(49)
t_(50)+2t_(48)
p_(100)+p_(99)
t_(50)+2t_(49)
t_(100)+t_(99)
p_(50)+2p_(49)
