When we have a multiple threads in a system which may be have different states like running , blocked ,ready then can we define the overall state of the process ? Because we will have PCB corresponding to a process so what will be the state of the process in it ?

I am taking into consideration multi-processor system .

You'll need to be more specific - what do you mean by "overall state"?

A process by itself can be viewed a single thread and is traditionally known as a heavy weight process. Each process when spawned, has a single thread running on it. Otherwise it would no make sense to run a process which doesn't do anything.
