Production system:
To develop a machine for solving puzzles is an area of research for many years. To classify common characteristics of problem, there is an approach that is called production system. Production system consists of three main components. The three main components of production system are as follows:
- Collection of states is a collection of all situations that may occur during the achievement of goal.
- Collection of productions: A production is a move that may lead to a situation. Some productions may be eliminated depending upon their significance for desired goal.
- Control system refers to the logic that takes us towards goal. The control system identifies the significant moves out of several moves available.

Question
Harry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was
playing. Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by
the angle 2t/3600 each second, but now it moves
according to different angle x. You can assume that
coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and
the length of the minute hand is I. One endpoint of
the minute hand is always located at the clock
centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the
point (0, 1). One second later, Harry observes that
this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e.,
the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d.
Harry is curious about where the minute hand will
be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds.
Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for
that moment. Please help him to write a python
code that prints a single line containing the output.

a) Explain on Simulated Annealing algorithm behaves at very high temperatures,
and how it behaves at very low temperatures.
(b) Imagine the implementation of Simulated Annealing algorithm in real life. Let's
say, you have a caretaker at your home. Your home has a garden and it has a
fountain with a network of pipes that contains 150 faucets. You informed your
caretaker that you are going for short holiday to Langkawi for 3 days and when
you return you would like the fountain to spray as high as possible. Your
caretaker knows that it is impossible to check all faucets within 3 days to obtain
an optimal setting. You can use Simulated Annealing algorithm to maximize the
height of the fountain, also can assume whether a faucet can be ON or OFF and
measuring the water height. Adding to that, you can make any other
assumptions required for this scenario, explain clearly using Simulated Annealing
algorithm.
A large apple farm distributes their apples in boxes that they can source from any one of a number of nearby
box manufacturers. Each box manufacturer makes only one box type that holds a specific number of apples
- so a box from one manufacturer might hold 24 apples, while a box from another might hold 13. The apple
farm can only choose one box supplier each year (a decision they make each year based on price), but they
can then order an unlimited number of boxes of that type.
The farm likes to be prepared, and creates large batches of apples to pack before the decision about which
box type to use has been made. The farm also likes to limit waste, and tries to set the number of apples
in these large batches such that they can fill an integer number of boxes perfectly with no apples left over.
In creating these batches, although the farm doesn't yet know the exact capacity of the boxes they will
buy, they know a list of possible values the box capacity will take. For example, if the…

He has planted N wooden posts into the ground but has not put wire between them yet. The positions of these wooden posts are final; they cannot be moved. Wire placed between posts follows a straight line, and the farmer must place wire between the posts such that it forms an enclosure. The farmer is smart and will not allow the wires to cross. See the figure below, where the posts are the circles, and the lines are the wire (ignore the post numbering). However, the farmer would like the fence to enclose as much land as possible. He is willing to let some of his posts go unused (that is, not be part of the wire fence), so long as it maximizes the amount of land that the fence encloses.

One payment is applied to exactly 1 bill, and 1 bill can be paid off over time by several payments. A bill can be outstanding, having nothing yet paid on it at all. One patient can make many payments, but a single payment is made by only 1 patient. Some patients are insured by an insurance company. If they are insured, they can only carry insurance with one company. An insurance company can have many patients carry their policies.

- As a teaching administrator of the department, your responsibility is to schedule the classes for a particular classroom. Suppose there are n classes, each class i is represented by its start time and finishing time [Si, fi], and we say that two classes i and j are non-conflicting if they do not overlap in time (i.e., sizfj or szfi). You want to schedule as many classes for the classroom as possible, but the scheduled classes should be non-conflicting. Develop an algorithm so that you can select the maximum number of classes for the classroom.

- Mr Monkey is standing in front of a row of banana trees on Skull Island which actually belong to his rival King Kong. The banana trees are unusually high on that island. He wants to steal as many bananas as possible. Here is his plan. He will climb up one of the trees and then keep jumping from one tree to the immediately next one, while collecting all the bananas from each of them. But he will not switch the direction of his jumps. No longer being the agile young monkey he once used to be, he can only jump a total distance of L, after which he will climb down and run away before Kong crushes his head. Let the trees be labelled as t1, t2, ·.· tn. Let v;, Vi = 1, 2, · ..n be the number of bananas in tree t;. Further, let l;, i = 1,2, Can you write an algorithm to help Mr. Monkey steal as many bananas as possible ? Your algorithm should be a polynomial in n, L.

To see how this whole thing works, let’s consider the following example. Suppose there are 7 people A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. We denote x → y to mean “x gives a gift to y.” If the gift exchange starts with person A, then they give a gift to E. Then E gives a gift to B. And it is entirely possible that B gives a gift to A; in such a case we have completed a “cycle.” In case a cycle occurs, the gift exchange resumes with another person that hasn’t given their gift yet. If the gift exchange resumes with person D, then they give a gift to G. Then G gives a gift to F. Then F gives a gift to C. Then finally C gives a gift to D, which completes another cycle. Since all of the people have given their gifts, the giftexchange is done, otherwise the gift exchange resumes again with another person. All in all, there are two cycles that occurred during the gift exchange: A → E → B → A…arrow_forwardA materials engineer wants to study the effects of two different processes for sintering copper (aprocess by which copper powder coalesces into a solid but porous copper) on two different typesof copper powders.

- Three prisoners have been sentenced to long terms in prison, but due to over crowed conditions, one prisoner must be released. The warden devises a scheme to determine which prisoner is to be released. He tells the prisoners that he will blindfold them and then paint a red dot or blue dot on each forehead. After he paints the dots, he will remove the blindfolds, and a prisoner should raise his hand if he sees at least one red dot on the other two prisoners. The first prisoner to identify the color of the dot on his own forehead will be release. Of course, the prisoners agree to this. (What do they have to lose?) The warden blindfolds the prisoners, as promised, and then paints a red dot on the foreheads of all three prisoners. He removes the blindfolds and, since each prisoner sees a red dot (in fact two red dots), each prisoner raises his hand. Some time passes when one of the prisoners exclaims, "I know what color my dot is! It's red!" This prisoner is then released.

Here are some important features of your business model: • Drones can fly directly to a location so the time it takes to travel to a location is proportional to the distance between the two locations. • Delivery locations are given as points in a 2-dimensional plane. The Robo-Pizzeria is located at the origin (0,0). The first problem you are trying to solve is planning the route for your drone to follow while delivering pizzas to n locations. The route must leave from the Robo-Pizzeria, visit all locations, and return while travelling the minimum total distance. a) Show how you can turn these 4 delivery locations into a complete weighted graph with 5 nodes (including the Robo-Pizzeria at the origin) by stating the adjacency matrix for the graph. {(1, 1), (-2,-1), (2, 1), (-3,5)} (Since the graph is undirected you only need to state the upper triangle of the matrix.) b) Now describe the procedure you…arrow_forwardIn order to beat AlphaZero, Grandmaster Hikaru is improving her chess calculation skills.Today, Hikaru took a big chessboard with N rows (numbered 1 through N) and N columns (numbered 1 through N).
