Important Instructions: (a) Attempt Ab.b questions (b) Assume data wherever necessary and mention in your
answer script.

Question 1: (8 Marks)
Let A, Bbe two fuzzy numbers whose membership functions are given by

(x-1)/2 for 1 < x s .3 (x-2)/2 for 2 < x s 4


A(x) = (5-x)/2 for 3 < x s 5 B(x) = (6-x)/2 .for 4 < x s 6
{ 0 otherwise { 0 otherwise

Calculate the fuzzy numbers A+B and A*B. Also sketch the resultant fuzzy functions.
