PART A
Question 1. (a) What is a system call?
(b) What are the different states in which a process resides until its execution
is completed?
(c) What is context switching?
(d) What is role of long term scheduler?
(e) What are environment variable?
(f) What is dynamic memory allocation?
(g) How deadlocks are different from starvation?
(h) Draw the wait-for-graph corresponding to this resource allocation graph. Find out whether there
is is a deadlock or not?


(i) What is the deference between logical and physical address?
(j) What do you mean by external fragmentation?

PART B

Qestion 2. (a) List five services provided by an operating system. Explain how each provides
convenience to the users. Explain also in which cases it would be impossible for user-level
programs to provide these services.
OR

(b) i) Explain the differences with diagram between multilevel queue and
multilevel feedback queue scheduling.
ii) Explain with example how the behavior variate when the time quantum for
round robin scheduling is large or small.

Question 4. (a) Explain Banker's algorithm or deadlock avoidance with multiple instance of a recourse in detail
with the help of example.
OR
(b) Explain the following desk scheduling algorithms with the help of an example.
i) FCFS ii) SSTF iii) SCAN
