( but the 9th one have internal fragmentation. ) ==> 26 people ==> 26/4 = 7 care takers ===> 3 cabs required. ( But the 3rd one have internal fragmentation ) ∴ what is the over head = 3 cabs only, right ? 0 votes 0 votes Vegeta commented Nov 1, 2018 reply Follow Share Yep Problem 6.1 https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://cnds.eecs.jacobs-university.de/courses/osn-2004/s6.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiElZ_U-LPeAhVCeH0KHfrZBBIQFjAHegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw3w3AcUwvve7wUlV4anKAVn&cshid=1541101946768 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
