Consider a hard disk with a rotational speed of 15000 rpm . The time to move the read/ write head from a track to its adjacent track is 1 millisecond. Initially, the head is on track 0 . The number of sectors per track is 400 . The sector size is 1024 bytes. It is necessary to transfer data from 10 randomly located sectors in each of the following tracks in the order: 5,12 and 7.
The total time for the data transfer (in milliseconds) from the hard disk is $\_\_\_\_$ . (rounded off to one decimal place)
Consider the following program snippet. Assume that the program compiles and runs successfully. Further, assume that the fork( ) system call is always successful in creating a process.
int main( ) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++){
if (fork() == 0){
continue;
}
break;
}
printf("Hello!");
return 0;
}
```
The total number of times that the printf statement gets executed is $\_\_\_\_$ . (answer in integer)
Consider a CPU that has to execute two types of processes. The first type, Actuators (A), requires a CPU burst of 6 seconds. The second type, Controllers (C), requires a CPU burst of 8 seconds. A new process of type A arrives at time $t=10,20,30,40$, and 50 (in seconds). Similarly, a new process of type C arrives at time $t=11,22,33$, 44, and 55 (in seconds). The CPU scheduling policy is First Come First Serve (FCFS). The first process of type A starts running at $t=10$ seconds. The average waiting time (in seconds) for the 10 processes is $\_\_\_\_$ . (rounded off to one decimal place)
Consider the following program in C:
#include <stdio.h>
void func(int i, int j) {
if(i < j) {
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
j += 2;
i++;
}
}
printf("%d", i);
}
int main() {
int i = 9, j = 10;
func(i, j);
return 0;
}
The output of the program is $\_\_\_\_$ . (answer in integer)
Note: Assume that the program compiles and runs successfully.
