Q76.
Consider a system with five processes P0 through P4 and three resource types R1, R2 and R3. Resource type R1 has 10 instances, R2 has 5 instances and R3 has 7 instances. Suppose that at time T0, the following snapshot of the system has been taken :

Allocation R1 R2 R3 P0 0 1 0 P1 2 0 0 P2 3 0 2 P3 2 1 1 P4 0 2 2
