Question

Consider a computer C1 has n CPUs and k processes. Which of the following statements are False?

a). The maximum number of processes in ready state is K.

b). The maximum number of processes in block state is K.

c). The maximum number of processes in running state is K.

d). The maximum number of processes in running state is n.

Answer 1

GIven: 

CPU's - N

Processes -K

A. Although Number of processes in ready queue is independent of number of CPU's but given only K processes at any instance K-N(when K>N) processes , max. can be in Ready queue.

​​​​​​B.it is possible.When Each process requires some event to occur,like keyboard input.

C.it is possible only when (K<N). At any instance maximum number of processes at any instance is N.

D.its true.Each CPU is running one process.

So. Drawing Conclusion A and C are false.

Note: this Question is ambiguous. There should be relation between N and K to be nice.
