Scheduling of Process

Question

 

Comments

Option C-
n processors can execute n processes simultaneously.
All m processes can be in blocked state simultaneously.
All m processes can be in ready state (When CPU is handling interrupt)

Oh did we have to see seperately ?

i thought its asking at a moment.

If there are n processors then total n process can be running at same time, then remaining processes are m-n of which some of them can be in ready or blocked state ?

This thinking is wrong isn't it ?

Yes, it's not correct thinking.
We have to see separately. They asked $maximum$ moreover we don't know any relation between m and n i.e  m=n or m<n etc.

Answer 1

For getting Maximum, you can assume "If all processes can be in that state?"

For Ready state, yes all processes can be in that state ===> m

For Block state, yes all processes can be in that state ===> m

For Running state, no all processes can't be in that state and maximum we can serve only n processes with n processors ===> n
