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? GATE CSE 2007 Operating Systems - Deadlocks Question 17 English

Consider the following snapshot of a system running n processes. Process i is holding xi instances of a resource R, for $$1 \le i \le n$$. Currently, all instances of R are occupied. Further, for all i, process i has placed a request for an additional yi instances while holding the xi instances it already has. There are exactly two processes p and q such that yp = yq = 0. Which one of the following can serve as a necessary condition to guarantee that the system is not approaching a deadlock?
A
$$\min ({x_p},{x_q}) < {\max _{k \ne p,q}}{y_k}$$
B
$${x_p} + {x_q} \ge {\min _{k \ne p,q}}{y_k}$$
C
$$\max ({x_p},{x_q}) > 1$$
D
$$\min ({x_p},{x_q}) > 1$$
