Artificial Intelligence MCQ – Uninformed Search Strategy
1 - Question
Which search strategy is also called as blind search?
a) Uninformed search
b) Informed search
c) Simple reflex search
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In blind search, We can search the states without having any additional information. So uninformed search method is blind search.
2 - Question
How many types are available in uninformed search method?
a) 3
b) 4
c) 5
d) 6
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The five types of uninformed search method are Breadth-first, Uniform-cost, Depth-first, Depth-limited and Bidirectional search.
3 - Question
Which search is implemented with an empty first-in-first-out queue?
a) Depth-first search
b) Breadth-first search
c) Bidirectional search
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Because of FIFO queue, it will assure that the nodes that are visited first will be expanded first.
4 - Question
When is breadth-first search is optimal?
a) When there is less number of nodes
b) When all step costs are equal
c) When all step costs are unequal
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Because it always expands the shallowest unexpanded node.
5 - Question
How many successors are generated in backtracking search?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Each partially expanded node remembers which successor to generate next because of these conditions, it uses less memory.
6 - Question
What is the space complexity of Depth-first search?
a) O(b)
b) O(bl)
c) O(m)
d) O(bm)
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: O(bm) is the space complexity where b is the branching factor and m is the maximum depth of the search tree.
7 - Question
How many parts does a problem consists of?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The four parts of the problem are initial state, set of actions, goal test and path cost.
8 - Question
Which algorithm is used to solve any kind of problem?
a) Breadth-first algorithm
b) Tree algorithm
c) Bidirectional search algorithm
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Tree algorithm is used because specific variants of the algorithm embed different strategies.
9 - Question
Which search algorithm imposes a fixed depth limit on nodes?
a) Depth-limited search
b) Depth-first search
c) Iterative deepening search
d) Bidirectional search
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: None.
10 - Question
Which search implements stack operation for searching the states?
a) Depth-limited search
b) Depth-first search
c) Breadth-first search
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: It implements stack operation because it always expands the deepest node in the current tree.
