A virtual memory system uses First In First Out (FIFO) page replacement policy and allocates a fixed number of frames to a process. Consider the following statements:
$$P:$$ Increasing the number of page frames allocated to a process sometimes increases the page fault rate.
$$Q:$$ Some programs do not exhibit locality of reference.

Which one of the following is TRUE?

A
Both P and Q are true, and Q is the reason for P
B
Both P and Q are true, but Q is not the reason for P.
C
P is false, but Q is true
D
Both P and Q are false.

A process has been allocated $$3$$ page frames. Assume that none of the pages of the process are available in the memory initially. The process makes the following sequence of page references (reference string): $$$1, 2, 1, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 1$$$

If optimal page replacement policy is used, how many page faults occur for the above reference string?

A
$$7$$
B
$$8$$
C
$$9$$
D
$$10$$

Least Recently Used (LRU) page replacement policy is a practical approximation to optimal page replacement. For the above reference string, how many more page faults occur with LRU than with the optimal page replacement policy?

$$1$$
C
$$2$$
D

A Computer system supports $$32$$-bit virtual addresses as well as $$32$$-bit physical addresses. Since the virtual address space is of the same size as the physical address space, the operating system designers decide to get rid of the virtual memory entirely. Which one of the following is true?
A
Efficient implementation of multi-user support is no longer possible.
B
The processor cache organization can be made more efficient now.
C
Hardware support for memory management is no longer needed.
D
$$CPU$$ scheduling can be made more efficient now.
