And other several conditions also but no such thing mentioned in question so we can't say generally it happens 0 votes 0 votes srestha commented Apr 2, 2018 reply Follow Share @Tesla chk here why seek time will be less, It is because no of blocks are less https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems-set-4/ 0 votes 0 votes Tesla! commented Apr 2, 2018 reply Follow Share Ok i got it 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
