  • Q1. What is Deadlock in OS?
  • Ans. 

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

    • Occurs when processes are stuck in a circular wait for resources

    • Can be prevented by using proper resource allocation strategies like avoiding circular waits

    • Examples include two processes each holding a resource the other needs

  • Q2. OSI Model and explain all the layers?
  • Ans. 

    The OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven different layers.

    • Physical Layer: Deals with physical connections and transmission of raw data. Example: Ethernet cables.

    • Data Link Layer: Manages data transfer between devices on the same network. Example: MAC addresses.

    • Network Layer: Handles routing and forwarding of data packets. Example: IP ad...

  • Q2. Median of 2 sorted arrays in O(log N) time complexity and O(1) space complexity
  • Ans. 

    Find median of 2 sorted arrays in O(log N) time complexity and O(1) space complexity

    • Use binary search to find the partition point in both arrays

    • Calculate the median based on the partition point and array sizes

    • Adjust the partition points based on the median value

    • Repeat until the partition points are at the median

    • Handle edge cases such as empty arrays and uneven array sizes

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Strings Anagram in O(1) space complexity
  • Ans. 

    Anagram of strings in O(1) space complexity

    • Use a fixed size array of integers to store the frequency of characters in the first string

    • Iterate through the second string and decrement the frequency of each character in the array

    • If all the frequencies are zero, then the strings are anagrams

    • Return true or false accordingly

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Level order traversal of a tree using Queue
  • Ans. 

    Level order traversal of a tree using Queue

    • Create a queue and add the root node to it

    • While the queue is not empty, remove the front node and print its value

    • Add the left and right child nodes of the removed node to the queue

    • Repeat until the queue is empty

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Reverse level order traversal of a tree using Queue
  • Ans. 

    Reverse level order traversal of a tree using Queue

    • Create a queue and push the root node into it

    • While the queue is not empty, pop the front node and push its children into the queue

    • Add the popped node to a stack

    • Once the queue is empty, pop elements from the stack and print them

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. BFS and DFS Difference
  • Ans. 

    BFS and DFS are graph traversal algorithms. BFS explores nodes level by level while DFS explores nodes depth by depth.

    • BFS uses a queue while DFS uses a stack or recursion.

    • BFS is optimal for finding shortest path while DFS is optimal for finding a path between two nodes.

    • BFS requires more memory as it stores all the nodes at each level while DFS requires less memory.

    • BFS can be used to find connected components while DFS

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. OS Concepts – Starvation, Demand Paging, Virtual Memory, Deadlocks
  • Q8. Parenthesis Balance Checking

  • Ans. 

    Find product of each element of an array except that element in O(N) time complexity without using / operation

    • Use prefix and suffix products

    • Multiply prefix and suffix products for each element to get the final product

    • Handle edge cases where array has 0 or 1 element separately

  • Answered by AI
  • Q11. Recursively deleting linked list
  • Ans. 

    Recursively delete a linked list

    • Create a recursive function that takes the head of the linked list as input

    • Base case: if the head is null, return

    • Recursively call the function with the next node as input

    • Delete the current node

  • Answered by AI
  • Q12. Recursively deleting linked list from end
  • Ans. 

    Recursively delete a linked list from the end.

    • Start from the head and recursively traverse to the end of the list.

    • Delete the last node and set the second last node's next pointer to null.

    • Repeat until the entire list is deleted.

    • Use a recursive function to implement the deletion process.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q13. Recursively deleting tree
  • Ans. 

    Recursively delete a tree by deleting all its child nodes and then the parent node.

    • Start from the leaf nodes and delete them first.

    • Then move up to the parent nodes and delete them.

    • Repeat until the root node is deleted.

    • Use post-order traversal to ensure child nodes are deleted before parent nodes.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q14. Recursively deleting from end
  • Ans. 

    Recursively delete elements from the end of an array.

    • Create a recursive function that removes the last element of the array.

  • Q16. Shortest path between 2 points in 2-D space in O(log N) time
  • Ans. 

    There is no known algorithm to find shortest path in 2-D space in O(log N) time.

    • The best known algorithm for finding shortest path in 2-D space is Dijkstra's algorithm which has a time complexity of O(N^2).

    • Other algorithms like A* and Bellman-Ford have better time complexity but still not O(log N).

    • If the points are on a grid, Lee algorithm can be used which has a time complexity of O(N).
