Answer 1

Assign all but 1 of 'c' copies to each resource.

So,n(c-1) copies are assigned now. This should be equal to 'k'.

So, the equation should be n(c-1)=k.

Question asks to find minimum value of 'n' but options contain 'n' itself.

Comments

i think let say if the required no of resources to complete is c and now if each process required (k/n) resources to complete it will be deadlock if c> (k/n)

now for min value  c+1=(k/n)

why is this incorrect?

Why (k/n)?
