QUESTION 3:
Fig. A shows trapezoidal membership function distribution of a fuzzy set.
1.0
0.0 2.0 4.0 8.0 10.0
Fig. A: Trapezoidal membership function distribution.
The value of membership (𝜇) corresponding to 𝑥 = 3.5 is found to be equal to
a. 0.45
b. 0.55
c. 0.65
d. 0.75
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:
𝑥−𝑎 ′ 𝑑′ −𝑥
𝜇 = 𝑚𝑎𝑥(𝑚𝑖𝑛 ( ′ , 1, ) , 0)
𝑏′ −𝑎 𝑑′ −𝑐 ′
Here, 𝑎′ = 2.0, 𝑏′ = 4.0, 𝑐 ′ = 8.0, 𝑑 ′ = 10.0.
3.5 − 2.0 10.0 − 3.5
𝜇 = max(min ( , 1, ) , 0)
4.0 − 2.0 10.0 − 8.0
= max(min(0.75,1,3.25) , 0)
= max(0.75, 0)
= 0.75

QUESTION 10:
Let us consider two fuzzy sets as follows:
A x x1,0.1 , x2 ,0.2 , x3 ,0.5
B x x1 ,0.4 , x2 ,0.5 , x3 ,0.6
Their bounded difference, 𝐴(𝑥) ⊝ 𝐵 (𝑥) is determined as follows:
a. x ,0.0 , x ,0.0 , x ,0.1

1 2 3
d. x ,0.1 , x ,0.2 , x ,0.5
1 2 3
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:
𝐴(𝑥) ⊝ 𝐵 (𝑥) = {(𝑥, 𝜇𝐴⊝𝐵 (𝑥))}
where 𝜇𝐴⊝𝐵 (𝑥) = max{0, 𝜇𝐴 (𝑥) + 𝜇𝐵 (𝑥) − 1}
∴ 𝐴(𝑥) ⊝ 𝐵 (𝑥)
= {(𝑥1 , max{0, 0.1 + 0.4 − 1.0}), (𝑥2 , max{0, 0.2 + 0.5
− 1.0}), (𝑥3 , max{0, 0.5 + 0.6 − 1.0})}
= {(𝑥1 , 0), (𝑥2 , 0), (𝑥3 , 0.1)}
