State whether true or false:

1. Virtualization facilitates multiple OS simultaneously on the same hardware
2. In dual boot, multiple OS can run simultaneously

1. (i) True (ii) False
2. (i) False (ii) True
3. (i) True (ii) True
4. (i) False (ii) False

Answer 1

1. Virtualization facilitates multiple OS simultaneously on the same hardware.

   True. Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on the same hardware by creating virtual machines (VMs) that operate independently. Each VM can run its own OS, and they share the underlying hardware resources.

2. In dual boot, multiple OS can run simultaneously.

   False. In a dual-boot setup, you choose which operating system to run when you start your computer. However, at any given moment, only one OS is actively running. While you can switch between different OS options during the boot process, they do not run simultaneously.
