In the following process state transition diagram for a uniprocessor system, assume that there are always some processes in the ready state:

Now consider the following statements:
$$1.\,\,\,$$ If a process makes a transition $$D,$$ it would result in another process making transition $$A$$ immediately.
$$2.\,\,\,$$ $$A$$ process $${P_2}$$ in blocked state can make transition $$E$$ while another process $${P_1}$$ is in running state.
$$3.\,\,\,$$ The $$OS$$ uses preemptive scheduling.
$$4.\,\,\,$$ The $$OS$$ uses non-preemptive scheduling. Which of the above statements are TRUE?

A process executes the following code

for (i = 0; i < n; i + +) fork ( ); 

The total number of child processes created is

Which of the following is/are true of the auto-increment addressing mode?
$${\rm I}.\,\,\,$$ It is useful in creating self-relocating code
$${\rm II}.\,\,\,$$ If it is included in an Instruction Set Architecture, then an additional $$ALU$$ is required for effective address calculation.
$${\rm III}.\,\,\,$$ The amount of increment depends on the size of the data item accessed

An operating system uses Shortest Remaining Time first $$(SRT)$$ process scheduling algorithm. Consider the arrival times and execution times for the following processes:

What is the total waiting time for process $$P2?$$
