Q. We have a process that has been allocated 3 page frames and initially none of the pages of the process are available in the memory. The following sequence of page references (reference string) is made by the process :
1, 2, 1, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 1
How many page faults will occur for the above reference string with the Least Recently Used(LRU) Page Replacement Policy in comparison to an Optimal Page Replacement policy?

Q. We have a process that has been allocated 3 page frames and initially none of the pages of the process are available in the memory. The following sequence of page references (reference string) is made by the process :
1, 2, 1, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 1
If Optimal Page Replacement policy is used, _______ page faults will occur for the above reference string.

Q. Recall that Belady’s anomaly is that the pages-fault rate may increase as the number of allocated frames increases. Now consider the following statements:
S1: Random page replacement algorithm (where
a page chosen at random is replaced)
suffers from Belady’s anomaly.

S2: LRU page replacement algorithm suffers
from Belady’s anomaly .
