Question 13 Explanation: 
In a genetic algorithm, a population of candidate solutions (called individuals, creatures, or phenotypes) to an optimization problem is evolved toward better solutions. Each candidate solution has a set of properties (its chromosomes or genotype) which can be mutated and altered; traditionally, solutions are represented in binary as strings of 0s and 1s, but other encodings are also possible.
In nondeterministic environments, percepts tell the agent which of the possible outcomes has actually occurred.Solutions for nondeterministic problems can contain nested if-then-else statements that create a tree rather than a sequence of actions

Question 31
Which is not a component of the natural language understanding process?
A
Morphological analysis
B
Semantic analysis
C
Pragmatic analysis
D
Meaning analysis
Question 31 Explanation: 
Meaning analysis is not typically considered a distinct component of the natural language understanding (NLU) process. Instead, it is often encompassed within the broader category of semantic analysis. The key components of the NLU process include: Morphological Analysis: This component deals with the analysis of word structure, including breaking words into meaningful units (morphemes), inflections, and word forms. Semantic Analysis: This is the component responsible for understanding the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. It involves determining the relationships between words and extracting the intended meaning. Pragmatic Analysis: Pragmatics focuses on the interpretation of language in context, including factors like speech acts, implicatures, and understanding the intentions and presuppositions of the speaker. So, "Meaning analysis" is usually encompassed within "Semantic analysis," and all the other components listed are integral parts of the natural language understanding process.
Question 32
Which of the following is not a property of a good system for representation of knowledge in a particular domain?
A
Presentation adequacy
B
Inferential adequacy
C
Inferential efficiency
D
Acquisitional efficiency
Question 32 Explanation: 
The property that is not typically considered a property of a good system for the representation of knowledge in a particular domain is "Presentation adequacy." Presentation adequacy refers to how well the system's knowledge representation can be presented and understood by humans. While it's important to have a representation that can be comprehended by humans, the primary properties often associated with a good knowledge representation system are: Inferential Adequacy: The system's ability to support reasoning and inference within the domain. It should be able to draw meaningful conclusions and make inferences based on the represented knowledge. Inferential Efficiency: How efficiently the system can perform reasoning and inference. A good system should allow for efficient processing and deduction of new knowledge from the existing representation. Acquisitional Efficiency: How efficiently the system can acquire or learn new knowledge and integrate it into the existing representation. This relates to the ease of updating and expanding the knowledge base. While presentation adequacy is important for human understanding, it's not traditionally considered one of the core properties of a knowledge representation system. Instead, it's often viewed as an interface or display issue, focusing on how well the representation can be communicated to users.
Question 33
Which of the following is not a mutation operator in a genetic algorithm?
A.Random resetting
B.Scramble
C.Inversion
D.Difference
Choose the correct answer from the options given below
A
A and B only
B
B and D only
C
C and D only
D
D only
Question 33 Explanation: 
A genetic algorithm typically uses various mutation operators to introduce diversity into the population. Here's an explanation of each of the options: A. Random Resetting: Random resetting is a mutation operator where one or more genes in an individual's chromosome are randomly changed or reset to new random values. It is a valid mutation operator in genetic algorithms. B. Scramble: The scramble operator involves shuffling or permuting a subset of genes within a chromosome. It is a valid mutation operator in genetic algorithms. C. Inversion: The inversion operator reverses the order of a subset of genes within a chromosome. It is a valid mutation operator in genetic algorithms. D. Difference: "Difference" is not a standard mutation operator in genetic algorithms. While operators like "random resetting," "scramble," and "inversion" are commonly used, "difference" is not a recognized mutation operator in this context. So, the correct answer is D only because "Difference" is not a mutation operator commonly used in genetic algorithms.
Question 34
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Fuzzifier is a part of a fuzzy system
Statement Ii: Inference engine is a part of fuzzy system
In the ligt of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
A
Both statement I and Statement II are correct
B
Both statement I and Statement II are incorrect
C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
D
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Question 34 Explanation: 
Statement I correctly identifies that a "fuzzifier" is a component of a fuzzy system. A fuzzifier is responsible for converting crisp (non-fuzzy) inputs into fuzzy sets. Statement II is also correct because an "inference engine" is a crucial component of a fuzzy system. It's responsible for making decisions and performing reasoning based on fuzzy logic rules and inputs. Both statements are accurate, and there is no conflict between them.
Question 35
Consider the following statements
A. C-fuzzy means cluster is supervised method of learning
B. PCA is used for dimension reduction
C. Apriori is not a supervised technique
D. When a machine learning model becomes so specially tuned to its exact input data that it fails to generalize to other similar data it is called underfitting
Choose the correct answer from the options given below
A
A and B
B
B and C
C
C and D
D
D and A
Question 35 Explanation: 
Statement B is correct. PCA (Principal Component Analysis) is indeed used for dimension reduction in machine learning and data analysis. Statement C is also correct. Apriori is a frequent itemset mining algorithm used in association rule learning and is not a supervised technique in machine learning. Statements A and D are not correct: Statement A is incorrect. "C-fuzzy" is not a standard term in machine learning, and the statement doesn't accurately describe a supervised method of learning. Statement D is also incorrect. "Underfitting" is when a model is too simple and fails to capture the underlying patterns in data. It is the opposite of overfitting, which is when a model becomes too specialized to its training data.
Question 36
Which of the following is not a solution representation in a genetic algorithm?
A
Binary valued
B
Real valued
C
Permutation
D
Combinations
Question 36 Explanation: 
"Combinations" is not typically a direct solution representation in a genetic algorithm. In genetic algorithms, the common solution representations include: Binary Valued: Where each gene in an individual is represented as a binary value (0 or 1). Real Valued: Where each gene in an individual is represented as a real number, often within a specific range. Permutation: Where the genes represent a permutation or ordering of elements. This is often used for problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem. "Combinations" as a direct representation is not commonly used in genetic algorithms. Instead, it might be implemented using other representations like binary, real-valued, or permutation depending on the specific problem being solved.

A
(B) and (C) only
B
(A) and (B) only
C
(A),(B) and (C) only
D
(A) and (D) only
Question 43 Explanation: 
Alpha-beta pruning is a modified version of the minimax algorithm. It is an optimization technique for the minimax algorithm.

Alpha-beta Algorithm:
- Uses Depth first search
- only considers nodes along a single path from root at any time
α = highest-value choice found at any choice point of path for MAX (initially, α = −infinity)
β = lowest-value choice found at any choice point of path for MIN (initially, β = +infinity)
- Pass current values of α and β down to child nodes during search.
- Update values of α and β during search:
- MAX updates α at MAX nodes
- MIN updates β at MIN nodes

When to Prune:
- Prune whenever α ≥ β.
- Prune below a Max node whose alpha value becomes greater than or equal to the beta value of its ancestors.
- Max nodes update alpha based on children’s returned values. - Prune below a Min node whose beta value becomes less than or equal to the alpha value of its ancestors.
- Min nodes update beta based on children’s returned values.

Effectiveness of Alpha-Beta Search:
- Alpha/beta best case is O(b(d/2)) rather than O(bd)
- This is the same as having a branching factor of sqrt(b),
- (sqrt(b))d/ = b(d/2) (i.e., we have effectively gone from b to square root of b)
- In chess go from b ~ 35 to b ~ 6
- permitting much deeper search in the same amount of time
- In practice it is often b(2d/3)
Question 44

Question 45 Explanation: 
Absurd→ Clearly impossible being contrary to some evident truth.
Ambiguous→ Capable of more than one interpretation or meaning.
Axiom→ An assertion that is accepted and used without a proof.
Conjecture→ An opinion preferably based on some experience or wisdom
Question 46
Let P(m, n) be the statement “m divides n” where the Universe of discourse for both the variables is the set of positive integers. Determine the truth values of the following propositions.
(a)∃m ∀n P(m, n)
(b)∀n P(1, n)
(c) ∀m ∀n P(m, n)
A
(a) - True; (b) - True; (c) - False
B
(a) - True; (b) - False; (c) - False
C
(a) - False; (b) - False; (c) - False
D
(a) - True; (b) - True; (c) - True
Question 46 Explanation: 
Given P(m,n) ="m divides n"
Statement-A is ∃m ∀n P(m, n). Here, there exists some positive integer which divides every positive integer. It is true because there is positive integer 1 which divides every positive integer.
Statement-B is ∀n P(1, n). Here, 1 divided every positive integer. It is true.
Statement-C is ∀m ∀n P(m, n). Here, every positive integer divided every positive integer. It is false.
Question 47

An agent can improve its performance by

A
Learning
B
Responding
C
Observing
D
Perceiving
Question 47 Explanation: 
→ An intelligent agent (IA) is an autonomous entity which observes through sensors and acts upon an environment using actuators (i.e. it is an agent) and directs its activity towards achieving goals (i.e. it is "rational", as defined in economics).
→ Intelligent agents may also learn or use knowledge to achieve their goals. They may be very simple or very complex. A reflex machine, such as a thermostat, is considered an example of an intelligent agent.
Question 48

Consider following sentences regarding A*, an informed search strategy in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

    (a) A* expands all nodes with f(n)<C*.
    (b) A* expands no nodes with f(n)/C*.
    (c) Pruning is integral to A*.
    Here, C* is the cost of the optimal solution path.
Which of the following is correct with respect to the above statements ?
A
Both statement (a) and statement (b) are true.
B
Both statement (a) and statement (c) are true.
C
Both statement (b) and statement (c) are true.
D
All the statements (a), (b) and (c) are true.
Question 48 Explanation: 
A* search:
→ A* combines the value of the heuristic function h(n)and the cost to reach the node ‘n’, g(n).
→ Evaluation function f(n) = g(n) + h(n) thus estimates the cost of the cheapest solution through ‘n’.
→ A* tries the node with the lowest f(n) value first.
→ This leads to both complete and optimal search algorithm, provided that h(n) satisfies certain conditions.
Optimality of A*:
→ A* expands all nodes ‘n’ for which f(n) → However, all nodes n for which f(n) > C* get pruned.
→ It is clear that A* search is complete.
→ A* search is also optimally efficient for any given heuristic function, because any algorithm that does not expand all nodes with f(n) → Despite being complete, optimal, and optimally efficient, A* search also has its weaknesses.
→ The number of nodes for which f(n)< C* for most problems is exponential in the length of the solution.

Question 49

In Artificial Intelligence (AI), an environment is uncertain if it is

A
Not fully observable and not deterministic
B
Not fully observable or not deterministic
C
Fully observable but not deterministic
D
Not fully observable but deterministic
Question 49 Explanation: 
→ Deterministic AI environments are those on which the outcome can be determined based on a specific state. In other words, deterministic environments ignore uncertainty.
→ Most real world AI environments are not deterministic. Instead, they can be classified as stochastic. Self-driving vehicles are a classic example of stochastic AI processes.
Question 50

In Artificial Intelligence (AI), a simple reflex agent selects actions on the basis of

A
current percept, completely ignoring rest of the percept history.
B
rest of the percept history, completely ignoring current percept.
C
both current percept and complete percept history.
D
both current percept and just previous percept.
Question 50 Explanation: 
→ Simple reflex agents act only on the basis of the current percept, ignoring the rest of the percept history. The agent function is based on the condition-action rule: "if condition, then action".
→ This agent function only succeeds when the environment is fully observable. Some reflex agents can also contain information on their current state which allows them to disregard conditions whose actuators are already triggered.
→ Infinite loops are often unavoidable for simple reflex agents operating in partially observable environments. Note: If the agent can randomize its actions, it may be possible to escape from infinite loops.
