A system has n resources R₀,.....,R_n-1, and k processes P₀,.....,P_k-1. The implementation of the resource request logic of each process P_i, is as follows:

if (i%2==0) {
  if (i < n) request Ri;
  if (i+2 < n) request Ri+2 ;
}
else {
  if (i < n) request Rn-i;
  if (i+2 < n) request Rn-i-2;
}

In which one of the following situations is a deadlock possible?

Consider a system with 4 types of resources R1 (3 units), R2 (2 units), R3 (3 units), R4 (2 units). A non-preemptive resource allocation policy is used. At any given instance, a request is not entertained if it cannot be completely satisfied. Three processes P1, P2, P3 request the sources as follows if executed independently. Which one of the following statements is TRUE if all three processes run concurrently starting at time t = 0?

Which of the following is NOT true of deadlock prevention and deadlock avoidance schemes?

A single processor system has three resource types X, Y and Z, which are shared by three processes. There are 5 units of each resource type. Consider the following scenario, where the column alloc denotes the number of units of each resource type allocated to each process, and the column request denotes the number of units of each resource type requested by a process in order to complete execution. Which of these processes will finish LAST?
