What does the code achieve?
A
It ensures that all processes execute CODE SECTION P mutually exclusively.
B
It ensures that at most two processes are in CODE SECTION Q at any time.
C
It ensures that no process executes CODE SECTION Q before every process has finished CODE SECTION P.
D
It ensures that at most n-1 processes are in CODE SECTION P at any time.

Consider the following five disk access requests of the form (request id, cylinder number) that are present in the disk scheduler queue at a given time.

(P, 155), (Q, 85), (R, 110), (S, 30), (T, 115)

Assume the head is positioned at cylinder 100. The scheduler follows Shortest Seek Time First scheduling to service the requests.

Which one of the following statements is FALSE?
A
The head reverses its direction of movement between servicing of Q and P.
B
T is serviced before P.
C
R is serviced before P.
D
Q is serviced after S, but before T.

Consider a paging system that uses a 1-level page table residing in main memory and a TLB for address translation. Each main memory access takes 100 ns and TLB lookup takes 20 ns. Each page transfer to/from the disk takes 5000 ns. Assume that the TLB hit ratio is 95%, page fault rate is 10%. Assume that for 20% of the total page faults, a dirty page has to be written back to disk before the required page is read in from disk. TLB update time is negligible. The average memory access time in ns (round off to 1 decimal places) is ______.
