QUESTION 3:
Which one of the following statements is FALSE regarding a fuzzy reasoning tool?
a. It can be used as an input-output modeling tool.
b. Its inputs can be fed in their respective real scales.
c. Its inputs must be fed in the normalized scale only.
d. It can deal with imprecision and uncertainty.
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
The inputs need not be fed in the normalized scale to the fuzzy reasoning tool.

QUESTION 9:
Which one of the following information in FALSE related to Mamdani Approach of fuzzy
reasoning tool?
a. Its final output is determined using membership function distribution (in graphical form) of its
output variable.
b. Its final output is represented using membership function distributions of its input variables.
c. It follows the principle/grammar of fuzzy sets.
d. Its performance can be improved by a proper training using an optimization tool.
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Mamdani approach of fuzzy reasoning tool works based on the grammar of
fuzzy sets. Its final output is determined using membership function of its output variable. Its
performance can be improved by a proper training using an optimization tool.

QUESTION 10:
In Mamdani approach of fuzzy reasoning tool, let us assume that two rules are getting fired for a set of
inputs. The combined fuzzified output considering these two fired rules is shown in Fig. A.
0.9
ࣆ
0.4
࢞
Fig. A. Combined fuzzified output.
By using the Mean of Maxima method, the crisp output is found to be equal to
a. 8.0
b. 9.5
c. 10.5
d. 6.5
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:
Mean of Maxima method
In the plot of combined fuzzified output, the maximum value of membership is found to occur in the
range of (6.5, 9.5) for the output variable. The mid‐value of this range is calculated as 8.0.
