Assignment 1
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2
No. Question Chapter
1 What is artificial intelligence? Define the different task domains of 1
artificial intelligence.
2 What is Intelligence? Discuss types of problems requiring 1
Intelligence to solve it. Define AI.
3 Differentiate Natural & Artificial Intelligence. Explain types of 1
problems which requires AI techniques to be solved.
4 Write a short note on “Applications of Artificial Intelligence”. 1
5 What do you mean by state space representation of a problem? 2
Illustrate how you can represent following water jug problem as a
state space search: There are two jugs (without any measuring
marks on them) of 4 and 3 liters capacity, respectively. There is a
tap of water to fill the jugs. The objective is to fill the 4-liter jug
with exactly 2 liter of water.
6 Explain the State Space with the use of 8 Puzzle Problem. 2
Or
Explain State Space Search using 8 Puzzle problem
Or
What is state space representation? Explain with an example.
7 Discuss following: State space of a problem 2
8 Consider the Water Jug problem as stated here: “You are given 2
two jugs, a 4- gallon one and a 3-gallon one. Neither has any
measuring markers on it. There is a pump that can be used to fill
the jugs with water. How can you get exactly 2 gallons of water
into the 4-gallon jug?” Represent this as a problem in State Space
Search and state its Production Rules. Show at least one solution
to this problem.
Or
Solve Water JUG problem using production Rule System

9 Explain Production system and explain what is set of rules, 2


knowledge database, A control strategy and rule applier.

12 Differentiate the DFS and BFS with merits and demerits. 2
13 Explain A* algorithm. 2
14 Describe DFS and BFS. How can they be used for searching? Give 2
one application for which DFS or BFS can be applied for searching
the solution.
15 Define “Heuristic Search”. Explain the steps in “Best First Search” 2
and illustrate it using a suitable example.
16 Explain Depth first search and Breadth first search with example. 2
17 What is depth first search? Explain algorithm and its advantages. 2
18 Explain the Best-First-Search Procedure with example. 2
19 Consider the following initial and goal configuration for 8-puzzle 2
