A Computer handles several interrupt sources of which the following are relevant for this question:

$$ * \,\,\,$$ Interrupt from $$CPU$$ temperature sensor (raises interrupt if $$CPU$$ temperature is too high)

$$ * \,\,\,$$ Interrupt from Mouse (raises interrupt if the mouse is moved or a button is pressed)

$$ * \,\,\,$$ Interrupt from keyboard (raises interrupt when a key is pressed or release)

$$ * \,\,\,$$ Interrupt from Hard Disk (raises interrupt when a disk read is completed)>/p>

Which one these will be handled at the HIGHEST priority?

A
Interrupt from Hard Disk
B
Interrupt from Mouse
C
Interrupt from Keyboard
D
Interrupt from $$CPU$$ temperature sensor.

Consider the following table of arrival time and burst time for three processes $$P0,P1$$ and $$P2$$.
Process Arrival Time Burst Time
P0 0 ms 9 ms
P1 1 ms 4 ms

The pre-emptive shortest job first scheduling algorithm is used. Scheduling is carried out only a arrival or completion of processes. What is the average waiting time for the three processes?

A
$$5.0$$ $$ms$$
B
$$4.33$$ $$ms$$
C
$$6.33$$ $$ms$$
D
$$7.33$$ $$ms$$
