In a system, there are three types of resources: $$E, F$$ and $$G.$$ Four processes $${P_0},$$ $${P_1},$$ $${P_2}$$ and $${P_3}$$ execute concurrently. At the outset, the processes have declared their maximum resource requirements using a matrix named Max as given below. For example, Max$$\left[ {{P_{2,}}F} \right]$$ is the maximum number of instances of $$F$$ that $${{P_{2,}}}$$ would require. The number of instances of the resources allocated to the various processes at any given state is given by a matrix named Allocation.

Consider a state of the system with the Allocation matrix as shown below, and in which $$3$$ instances of $$E$$ and $$3$$ instances of $$F$$ are the only resources available.

Allocation
E F G
P0 1 0 1
P1 1 1 2
P2 1 0 3
P3 2 0 0

Max
E F G
P0 4 3 1
P1 2 1 4
P2 1 3 3
P3 5 4 1

From the perspective of deadlock avoidance, which one of the following is true?

A
The system is in $$safe$$ state.
B
The system is not in $$safe$$ state, but would be $$safe$$ if one more instance of $$E$$ were available
C
The system is not in $$safe$$ state, but would be $$safe$$ if one more instance of $$F$$ were available
D
The system is not in $$safe$$ state, but would be $$safe$$ if one more instance of $$G$$ were available

Consider a process executing on an operating system that uses demand paging. The average time for a memory access in the system is $$M$$ units if the corresponding memory page is available in memory, and $$D$$ units if the memory access causes a page fault. It has been experimentally measured that the average time taken for a memory access in the process is $$X$$ units.

Which one of the following is the correct expression for the page fault rate experienced by the process?

A
$$\left( {D - M} \right)/\left( {X - M} \right)$$
B
$$\left( {X - M} \right)/\left( {D - M} \right)$$
C
$$\left( {D - X} \right)/\left( {D - M} \right)$$
D
$$\left( {X - M} \right)/\left( {D - X} \right)$$

Consider the following C code. Assume that unsigned long int type length is 64 bits.
unsigned long int fun(unsigned long int n){
     unsigned long int i, j = 0, sum = 0;
     for (i = n; i > 1; i = i/2) j++;
     for ( ; j > 1; j = j/2) sum++;
     return(sum);
}
