Artificial Intelligence MCQ – Online Search Agent
1 - Question
Which search agent operates by interleaving computation and action?
a) Offline search
b) Online search
c) Breadth-first search
d) Depth-first search
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In online search, it will first take an action and then observes the environment.
2 - Question
What is called an exploration problem?
a) State and actions are unknown to the agent
b) State and actions are known to the agent
c) Only actions are known to agent
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Online search is a necessary idea for an exploration problem where the states and actions are unknown to the agent.
3 - Question
Which are necessary for an agent to solve an online search problem?
a) Actions
b) Step-cost function
c) Goal-test
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: An online search problem can be solved by an agent executing actions, So these functions are necessary.
4 - Question
When do we call the states are safely explorable?
a) A goal state is unreachable from any state
b) A goal state is denied access
c) A goal state is reachable from every state
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: None.
5 - Question
In which state spaces does the online-dfs-agent will work?
a) Irreversible state spaces
b) Reversible state spaces
c) Searchable state spaces
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Online-DFS-Agent will work only state spaces where the actions are reversible.
6 - Question
Which of the following algorithm is online search algorithm?
a) Breadth-first search algorithm
b) Depth-first search algorithm
c) Hill-climbing search algorithm
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Hill-climbing search algorithm will have only current state in memory, So it is an online search algorithm.
7 - Question
Which search algorithm will use limited amount of memory?
a) RBFS
b) SMA*
c) Hill-climbing search algorithm
d) Both RBFS & SMA*
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: RBFE and SMA* will solve any kind of problem that A* can’t by using limited amount of memory.
8 - Question
What is meant by simulated annealing in artificial intelligence?
a) Returns an optimal solution when there is a proper cooling schedule
b) Returns an optimal solution when there is no proper cooling schedule
c) It will not return an optimal solution when there is a proper cooling schedule
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: None.
9 - Question
How the new states are generated in genetic algorithm?
a) Composition
b) Mutation
c) Cross-over
d) Both Mutation & Cross-over
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: New states are generated by mutation and by crossover, which combines a pair of states from the population.
10 - Question
