OS Process Management & Co-ordination Objectives 1-15

1.      Which one of the following is Little’s formula Where ‘n’ is the average queue length, ‘W’ is the time that a process waits
         1)n=Lambda*W         
         2)n=Lambda/W
         3)n=Lambda^W
         4)n=Lambda*(W-n)
                                                              Answer:1

2.      A CPU scheduling algorithm determines an order for the execution of its scheduled processes. Given ‘n’ processes to be scheduled on one processor, how many possible different schedules are there?
    1) n! 
    2) n*n
    3) 1 
    4) log n
                                                            Answer: 1

3.      CPU scheduling is the basis of ———– operating systems
1) Batch operating systems
2) Real time OS
3) Multiprogramming
4) Mono programming 
Answer:3

4.      The SJF algorithm
1) executes first the job that last entered the queue
2) executes first the job that first entered the queue
3) executes first the job with the least processor needs 
4) executes first the job that has been in the queue already 
Answer:3

5.      Which scheduling policy is most suitable for a time shared operating systems?
        1) SJF
        2) RR 
        3) FCFS
        4) Elevator                                   Answer:2

6.      Scheduling is
1) allowing job to use the processor 
2) unrelated to performance conditions
3) quite simple to implement, even on large frames
4) the same regardless of the purpose of the system
 Answer:1

7.      Context Switching is
1) Part of spooling
2) part of polling
3) part of interrupt handling
4) part of interrupt servicing 
Answer: 3 

8.      The dispatcher 
1) actually schedules the task to the processor
2) is always very small
3) is never used on large components 
4) should be used only on large computers 
Answer: 1

9.       Race condition results for the following
1) all processes 
2) co-operating processes
3) competing processes
4) none 
Answer:3

10.  Scheduling is ________
1) allows processor to use the jobs 
2) Not required in uni processor system
3) Allowing jobs to use the processor 
4) None.                            
Answer: 1
11.   In which of the following scheduling schemes does context switching never take place.
1) Round robin 
2) SJF
3) FCFS
4) Priority
Answer: 3
12.     In multilevel queue scheduling (CPU scheduling) arrange the following in the order lowest to highest priority.
 a) Interactive process   b) Batch process              c) System process           d) Student process

 1) a, b, c, d
 2) d, c, b, a        
 3) c, a, b, d
 4) c, b, a, d
 Answer: 3
13.   Belady’s Anomaly is present in _________
1)LIFO
 2)FIFO
3) FCFS
4)SJF
Answer:2

14.   FCFS scheduling is the simplest algorithm, but it can cause short process to wait for very long processes.
True/False                                                                                                                         
 Answer: True
