1 - A system is having 3 user processes each requiring 2 units of resource R. The minimum number of units of R such that no deadlock will occur-

  1. 3
  2. 5
  3. 4
  4. 6

2 - A system is having 10 user processes each requiring 3 units of resource R. The minimum number of units of R such that no deadlock will occur _____?


3 - A system is having 3 user processes P1, P2 and P3 where P1 requires 2 units of resource R, P2 requires 3 units of resource R, P3 requires 4 units of resource R. The minimum number of units of R that ensures no deadlock is _____?


4 - A system is having 3 user processes P1, P2 and P3 where P1 requires 21 units of resource R, P2 requires 31 units of resource R, P3 requires 41 units of resource R. The minimum number of units of R that ensures no deadlock is _____?


5 - If there are 6 units of resource R in the system and each process in the system requires 2 units of resource R, then how many processes can be present at maximum so that no deadlock will occur?


6 - If there are 6 units of resource R in the system and each process in the system requires 3 units of resource R, then how many processes can be present at maximum so that no deadlock will occur?


7 - If there are 100 units of resource R in the system and each process in the system requires 2 units of resource R, then how many processes can be present at maximum so that no deadlock will occur?


8 - If there are 100 units of resource R in the system and each process in the system requires 4 units of resource R, then how many processes can be present at maximum so that no deadlock will occur?


9 - If there are 100 units of resource R in the system and each process in the system requires 5 units of resource R, then how many processes can be present at maximum so that no deadlock will occur?


10 - A computer system has 6 tape drives with n processes competing for them. Each process needs 3 tape drives. The maximum value of n for which the system is guaranteed to be deadlock free-


11 - Consider a system having m resources of the same type. These resources are shared by 3 processes A, B and C which have peak demands of 3, 4 and 6 respectively. For what value of m, deadlock will not occur?

  1. 7
  2. 9
  3. 10
  4. 13

12 - Consider a system having m resources of the same type being shared by n processes. Resources can be requested and released by processes only one at a time. The system is deadlock free if and only if-

  1. The sum of all max needs is < m+n
  2. The sum of all max needs is > m+n
  3. Both of above
  4. None of these

  9. 24
  10. 2
  11. 13
  12. The sum of all max needs is < m+n
