Q41.
A scheduling Algorithm assigns priority proportional to the waiting time of a process. Every process starts with priority zero (lowest priority). The scheduler re-evaluates the process priority for every 'T' time units and decides next process to be scheduled. If the process have no I/O operations and all arrive at time zero, then the scheduler implements .............. criteria.
Discuss
Answer: (b).Round Robin Scheduling
Q42.
There are three processes P1, P2 and P3 sharing a semaphore for synchronising a variable. Initial value of semaphore is one. Assume that negative value of semaphore tells us how many processes are waiting in queue. Processes access the semaphore in following order:

(a) P2 needs to access
(b) P1 needs to access
(c) P3 needs to access
(d) P2 exits critical section
(e) Pi exits critical section

The final value of semaphore will be:
Discuss
Answer: (a).0
Q43.
In a paging system, it takes 30 ns to search translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) and 90 ns to access the main memory. If the TLB hit ratio is 70%, the effective memory access time is:
Discuss
Answer: (b).147 ns
Q44.
Match the following w.r.t. Input/Output management:

List-l List-II
a. Device controller i. Extracts information from the controller register and store it in data buffer
b. Device driver ii. I/O scheduling
c. Interrupt handler iii. Performs data transfer
d. Kernel I/O subsystem iv. Processing of I/O request

Codes: a b c d
Discuss
Answer: (d).i iii iv ii
Q45.
Which of the following scheduling algorithms may cause starvation?
a. First-come-first-served
b. Round Robin
c. Priority
d. Shortest process next
e. Shortest remaining time first
Discuss
Answer: (b).c, d and e
Discuss
Answer: (a).Loosely coupled O.S. software on a loosely coupled hardware
Discuss
Answer: (b).More I/O is required
Q48.
Consider following schedules involving two transactions:

S1: r1(X); r1(Y); r2(X); r2(Y); w2(Y); w1(X)
S2: r1(X); r2(X); r2(Y); w2(Y); r1(Y); w1(X)

Which of the following statement is true?
Discuss
Answer: (c).S1 is not conflict serializable and S2 is conflict serializable
Q49.
A memory management system has 64 pages with 512 bytes page size. Physical memory consists of 32 page frames. Number of bits required in logical and physical address are respectively:
Discuss
Answer: (c).15 and 14
Q50.
Consider a disk queue with I/O requests on the following cylinders in their arriving order:

6,10,12,54,97,73,128,15,44,110,34,45

The disk head is assumed to be at cylinder 23 and moving in the direction of decreasing number of cylinders. Total number of cylinders in the disk is 150. The disk head movement using SCAN-scheduling algorithm is:
Discuss
Answer: (b).173
