1. Read the following statements carefully and mark them as true (T) or false (F).
(a) A fuzzy set is a crisp set but the reverse is not true.
(b) If A, B and C are three fuzzy sets defined over the same universe of discourse say X, such
that A ⊆ B and B ⊆ C, then A ⊆ C.
0 0
(c) If A α denotes the strong α−cut of a fuzzy set A, then Support(A)=A ◦ .
(d) Given a fuzzy set A, |Core(A)| = |A∗ |, where A∗ is the crisp version of fuzzy set A and |X|
denotes the cardinality of the set X.
(e) The truth values of an n-values logic are

0 1 2
n−1 , n−1 , n−1 , · · · , n−2 n−1
n−1 , n−1
(f) If x is A then y is B and given that y is C. If so, we can conclude x is D.
(g) If A = {(x1 , 0.8) , (x2 , 0.6) , (x3 , 0.4) (x4 , 0.2)}, B = {(y1 , 0.8) , (y2 , 0.6) , (y3 , 0.4) (y4 , 0.2)}
A relation R = A ∗ B where ∗ denotes a T-norm operator, and is given below.

0
(h) If A α and Ā denotes α−cut and complement of a fuzzy set A, then Āα = Aα
(i) A fuzzy set is plotted in the graph as shown below.
The crisp value according to both CoS and CoG will be the same.
(j) If P and Q are two fuzzy propositions with T (P ) and T (Q) are their truth values, then the
truth value of the fuzzy proposition P ⇒ Q is min(T (P ), T (Q)).
2. With reference to each question, one or more option(s) is/are correct. Choose the
correct option(s) only.
(a) Which of the following cannot be stated using fuzzy logic?

i. Color of an apple
ii. Height of a person
iii. Date of birth of a student
iv. Speed of a car
(b) A membership function µ(x) is defined as µ(x) = dxe. The membership function is with
i. discrete values over a discrete domain of universe of discourse
ii. discrete values of a continuous domain of universe of discourse
iii. Continuous values of a discrete domain of universe of discourse
iv. Continuous values of a continuous domain of universe of discourse
(c) If A and B are two fuzzy sets and x ∈ A, y ∈ B. Let C = A ⊕ B. Then

i. µc (x, y) = min{µA (x), µB (y)}
ii. µc (x, y) = min{1, µA (x) + µB (y)}

iii. 20
iv. 30

i. a fuzzy set
ii. a crisp set
iii. a fuzzy relation
iv. a membership function
(h) Takugi-Sugeno approach to FLC design is computationally more expensive comapred to

Mamdani approach because
i. Mamdani approach considers a less number of rules in fuzzy rule base
ii. Searching a rule in Mamdani approach is simple and hence less time consuming
iii. Takagi-Sugeno approach consider a large number of rules in fuzzy rule base

(i) An equivalence between Fuzzy vs. Probability to that of Prediction vs. Forecasting is
i. Fuzzy ≈ P rediction
ii. Fuzzy ≈ F orecasting
iii. Probability ≈ P rediction
iv. Probability ≈ F orecasting
(j) One difference between Mamdani approach and Takagi-Sugeno appraoch to FLC design is
that
i. Mamdani approach needs defuzzification module whereas Takagi-Sugeno approach
does not
ii. Mamdani appraoch is easy to interpret but less accurate
iii. Takagi-Sugeno approach is less interpretable but more accurate
iv. Takagi-Sugeno approach does not require any fuzzification module whereas Mamdani
approach needs.
