in the "All in one " book by Goswami, it gives a lot of methods such as moment area, influence lines etc... under "determinate statics" chapter

since determinate statics in in the AM portion, does it mean we have to be able to solve questions by influence lines, moment area menthod c, conjugate beam method etc? i remember these from indeterminate actually, and didnt study these. i am only taking AM for structural. should I study these?

 
You can use influence lines for statically determinate structures. They just tend to be simpler than for indeterminate structures. It wouldn't hurt to study. You don't want to give up easy points because you didn't study something simple.
