(C) 60     (D) 61
Answer: D
52.       An operating system has 13 tape drives. There are three processes P1, P2 & P3. Maximum requirement of P1 is 11 tape drives, P2 is 5 tape drives and P3 is 8 tape drives. Currently, P1 is allocated 6 tape drives, P2 is allocated 3 tape drives and P3 is allocated 2 tape drives. Which of the following sequences represent a safe state ?
(A) P2 P1 P3    (B) P2 P3 P1

Answer: A
53.       Monitor is an Interprocess Communication (IPC) technique which can be described as
(A) It is higher level synchronization primitive and is a collection of procedures, variables, and data structures grouped together in a special package.
(B) It is a non-negative integer which apart from initialization can be acted upon by wait and signal operations.
(C) It uses two primitives, send and receive which are system calls rather than language constructs.
(D) It consists of the IPC primitives implemented as system calls to block the process when they are not allowed to enter critical region to save CPU time.
Answer: A
54.       In a distributed computing environment, distributed shared memory is used which is
(A) Logical combination of virtual memories on the nodes.
(B) Logical combination of physical memories on the nodes.
(C) Logical combination of the secondary memories on all the nodes.
(D) All of the above
Answer: B
55.       Equivalent logical expression for the Well Formed Formula (WFF),
~("x) F[x]
is
(A) "x (~F[x])    (B) ~($x) F[x]
(C) $x (~F[x])     (D) "x F[x]
Answer: C

56.       An A* algorithm is a heuristic search technique which
(A) is like a depth-first search where most promising child is selected for expansion
(B) generates all successor nodes and computes an estimate of distance (cost) from start node to a goal node through each of the successors. It then chooses the successor with shortest cost.
(C) saves all path lengths (costs) from start node to all generated nodes and chooses shortest path for further expansion.
(D) none of the above
Answer: B
57.       The resolvent of the set of clauses

I/O interface
b. Explanation module           ii. Contains facts and rules about the domain
c. Inference engine                             iii. Gives the user, the ability to follow inferencing steps at any time during consultation
