What is meant by consistent in state-space search?
a) Change in the desired literals
b) Not any change in the literals
c) No change in goal state
d) None of the mentioned

b

Explanation: Consistent means that the completed actions will not undo any desired literals.


What will happen if a predecessor description is generated that is satisfied by the initial state of the planning problem?
a) Success                            
b) Error
c) Compilation    
d) Termination

d

Which approach is to pretend that a pure divide and conquer algorithm will work?
a) Goal independence
b) Subgoal independence
c) Both Goal & Subgoal independence
d) None of these

b

Explanation: Subgoal independence approach is to pretend that a pure divide and conquer algorithm will work for admissible heuristics.


Alpha Beta Pruning:


Which search is equal to minimax search but eliminates the branches that can’t influence the final decision?
a) Depth-first search
b) Breadth-first search
c) Alpha-beta pruning
d) None of the mentioned

c

Explanation: The alpha-beta search computes the same optimal moves as minimax, but eliminates the branches that can’t influence the final decision.


Which values are independant in minimax search algorithm?
a) Pruned leaves x and y
b) Every states are dependant
c) Root is independant
d) None of these

a

Explanation: The minimax decision are independant of the values of the pruned values x and y because of the root values.
