The number of $$4$$ digit numbers having their digits in non-decreasing order (from left to right) constructed by using the digits belonging to the set $${1, 2, 3}$$ is____________.

Consider the following policies for preventing deadlock in a system with mutually exclusive resources.

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm I}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Processes should acquire all their resources at the beginning of execution. If
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ any resource is not available, all resources acquired so far are released
$$\,\,\,\,\,{\rm II}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The resources are numbered uniquely, and processes are allowed to request
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ for resources only in increasing resource numbers
$$\,\,\,{\rm III}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The resources are numbered uniquely, and processes are allowed to request
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ for resources only in decreasing resource numbers
$$\,\,\,{\rm IV}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The resources are numbered uniquely. A process is allowed to request only
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ for a resource with resource number larger than its currently held resources

Which of the above policies can be used for preventing deadlock?

For the processes listed in the following table, which of the following scheduling schemes will give the lowest average turnaround time?

Process	Arrival Time	Processing Time
A	0	3
B	1	6
D	4	4
E	6	2

The maximum number of processes that can be in $$Ready$$ state for a computer system with $$n$$ $$CPUs$$ is
