  • Q5. Bankers algorithm
  • Ans. 

    Banker's algorithm is a resource allocation and deadlock avoidance algorithm used in operating systems.

    • Banker's algorithm is used to prevent deadlock in a system with multiple processes and resources.

    • It works by simulating the allocation of resources to processes and checking if it leads to a safe state.

    • The algorithm considers the current allocation, maximum needs, and available resources to make decisions.

    • If a request...

  • Q6. Deadlock in operating system
  • Ans. 

    Deadlock is a situation in which two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release a resource.

    • Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are stuck in a circular wait.

    • Four necessary conditions for deadlock are mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait.

    • Examples of deadlock prevention techniques include resource allocation graphs and bankers' algorithm.
