Consider a system with twelve magnetic tape drives and three processes $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$. process $P_1$ requires maximum ten tape drives, process $P_2$ may need as many as four tape drives and $P_3$ may need upto nine tape drives. Suppose that at time $t_1$, process $P_1$ is holding five tape drives, process $P_2$ is holding two tape drives and process $P_3$ is holding three tape drives, At time $t_1$, system is in:
- safe state
- unsafe state
- deadlocked state
- starvation state
