An operating system contains 3 user processes each requiring 2 units of resource R.The minimum number of units of R such that no deadlocks will ever arise is

Each process P_i,i=1.....9 is coded as follows

  Repeat
  P(mutex){
  critical section
  }
  V(mutex)
  Forever

The code for P₁₀ is identical except that it uses V(mutex) in place of P(mutex). What is the largest number of processes that can be inside the critical section at any moment?

Heap allocation is required for languages.

Given the following Pascal like program segment:

Procedure A;

     x,y:intger;

     Procedure B;

            x,z:real;

            S1

     end B;

     Procedure C;

            i:integer;

            S2;

     end C;

end A;

The variables accessible in S1 and S2 are
