SECTION C
(COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS)

Answer any 5 questions out of the given 7 questions (1 x 5 = 5 marks)

27. Assume that you are working at MyFlight which is a major airlines company and 1
that you have noticed that the way passengers board your planes is an inefficient
use of time and resources. On an average, the current boarding system wastes
about four minutes per boarding. This wastes about 35000 rupees per day across
all flights. The boarding protocols make the company less competitive and thus
create an unfavourable brand image. Using a modified boarding, passengers can
board the plane from the sides rather than from the back to the front. This will
eliminate four minutes of waste. Taking this as the problem, choose which of the
following would be the ideal problem statement template.

417-SQP-X-Term1(2021-2022) 7
 a) Our passengers have a problem that it takes more time when one has to
board the plane. An ideal solution would be to use different airlines.
b) Our passengers have a problem that the current boarding system wastes
time while waiting in the airport. An ideal solution would be to board the
plane before the airline crew gets into the plane.
c) Our airlines have a problem that the current boarding system wastes four
minutes of time when passengers aboard the plane. An ideal solution would
be to board the plane from the sides rather than from the back to the front.
d) Our airlines have a problem that it takes more time when passengers have
to board the plane. An ideal solution would be to sell the airlines.
28. a. Understand and inspect the web page to find the HTML markers associated 1

29. A leading multinational company operates on a chain of hypermarkets and grocery 1
stores deployed an AI application to make it easier for employees to keep their
stores running smoothly. They used thousands of video cameras, weighted sensors
on shelves, and other technologies that can tell employees when certain products
is starting to go bad. One of the task of the application is to identify bananas that
had started to turn brown, eliminating the need for employees to manually inspect
fruit. Which of the following domain is used to achieve this?
a) Data sciences
b) Computer vision
c) Natural Language Processing
d) Fuzzy logic
30. An AI system uses two broad classes of data namely content data which includes 1
the raw video streams title, description, etc, and user activity data that includes
rating a video, favoriting/liking a video, or subscribing to an uploader, and watch
time. Based on this, the AI system measures a user’s engagement and happiness. It
then starts computing personalized recommendations to the user. Which of the
following applications can you relate to this?
a) self-driving car
b) Siri
c) email filters
d) YouTube
31. Data about the houses such as square footage, number of rooms, features, 1
whether a house has a garden or not, and the prices of these houses, i.e., the

 32. A scenario is given to you below. Read it and answer the questions that follow: 1
Late one night, a car ran over a pedestrian in a narrow by street and drove away
without stopping. A policeman who saw the vehicle leave the scene of the accident
reported it moving at very high speed. The accident itself was witnessed by six
bystanders. They provided the following conflicting accounts of what had
happened:
- It was a Toyota and its headlights were turned off;
- It was a grey Audi.
- It was a red car driven by a woman;
- The car was moving at high speed and its headlights were turned off;
- The car did have license plates; it wasn’t going very fast;
- The car didn’t have license plates; the driver was a man;
When the car and its driver were finally apprehended, it turned out that only one
of the six eyewitnesses gave a fully correct description. Each of the other five
provided one true and one false piece of information. Keeping that in mind, can
you determine the following:
i) What was the car’s brand?
ii) What was the colour of the car?
iii) Was the car going fast or slow?
iv) Did it have license plates?
v) Were its headlights turned on?
vi) Was the driver a man or a woman?
a) i) -> TOYOTA ; ii) -> GREY ; iii) -> FAST ; iv) -> NO ; v) -> NO ; vi) -> WOMAN
b) i) -> AUDI ; ii) -> RED ; iii) -> SLOW ; iv) -> NO ; v) -> YES ; vi) -> WOMAN
c) i) -> AUDI ; ii) -> RED ; iii) -> FAST ; iv) -> YES ; v) -> NO ; vi) -> MAN
d) i) -> TOYOTA ; ii) -> RED ; iii) -> SLOW ; iv) -> NO ; v) -> NO ; vi) -> MAN
33. Amazon had been working on a secret AI recruiting tool. The machine-learning 1
specialists uncovered a big problem: their new recruiting engine did not like
women. The system taught itself that male candidates were preferable. It
penalized resumes that included the word “women". This led to the failure of the
tool. This is an example of
a) Data Privacy
b) AI access
c) AI Bias
d) Data Exploration
