Q1. Which of the following is/are the component(s) of a Knowledge Representation Language?
Syntax
Semantics
Inference Procedure
Knowledge Base

Answer: a), b), c), d)


Q2. Choose the CORRECT statements –
Syntax is the mapping between symbols and worlds.
A sentence S is unsatisfiable if it is false in some world(s).
Sentence S1 entails S2 if whenever S1 is false, S2 is also false.
A sentence S is valid if it is true in all worlds.

Answer: A sentence S is valid if it is true in all worlds.

Q5. What is the number of INCORRECT statements among the following?

i. If Knowledge Base has only horn clauses and the query is a conjunction of literals, then forward chaining is both sound and complete.
ii. An algorithm that can prove anything and everything is sound.
iii. Sound algorithm is the one that proves nothing but the truth.
iv. An algorithm that proves nothing but one true fact is not a sound algorithm.
v. A complete algorithm is the one that proves some but not all truth.
vi. A sound and complete algorithm is one that proves the truth and nothing but the truth.
vii. The zero of a disjunction operator is False.
viii. The zero of a conjunction operator is True.

Answer: 3


Q6. We are given the following set of clauses {(a, ¬b, c), (c), (¬c, d, ¬e), (¬a, ¬b, e), (a, ¬b, ¬c), (d, b), (e, a)}. We repeatedly apply unit propagation and removal of pure literals (till we can no longer do so). What is the number of remaining clauses?
