A computer has two processors, $M_1$ and $M_2$. Four processes $P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4$ with CPU bursts of $20,16,25$, and 10 milliseconds, respectively, arrive at the same time and these are the only processes in the system. The scheduler uses non-preemptive priority scheduling, with priorities decided as follows:

$\bullet$ $M_1$ uses priority of execution for the processes as, $P_1>P_3>P_2>P_4$, i.e., $P_1$ and $P_4$ have highest and lowest priorities, respectively.

$\bullet$ $M_2$ uses priority of execution for the processes as, $P_2>P_3>P_4>P_1$, i.e., $P_2$ and $P_1$ have highest and lowest priorities, respectively.

A process $P_i$ is scheduled to a processor $M_k$, if the processor is free and no other process $P_j$ is waiting with higher priority. At any given point of time, a process can be allocated to any one of the free processors without violating the execution priority rules. Ignore the context switch time. What will be the average waiting time of the processes in milliseconds?

A
9.00
B
8.75
C
6.50
D
7.50

Consider a single processor system with four processes A, B, C, and D, represented as given below, where for each process the first value is its arrival time, and the second value is its CPU burst time.

A (0, 10), B (2, 6), C (4, 3), and D (6, 7).

Which one of the following options gives the average waiting times when preemptive Shortest Remaining Time First (SRTF) and Non-Preemptive Shortest Job First (NP-SJF) CPU scheduling algorithms are applied to the processes?

A

SRTF = 6, NP-SJF = 7

B

SRTF = 6, NP-SJF = 7.5

C

SRTF = 7, NP-SJF = 7.5

D

SRTF = 7, NP-SJF = 8.5

Consider four processes P, Q, R and S scheduled on a CPU as per round robin algorithm with a time quantum of 4 units. The processes arrive in the order P, Q, R, S, all at time t = 0. There is exactly one context switch from S to Q, exactly one context switch from R to Q, and exactly two context switches from Q to R. There is no context switch from S to P. Switching to a ready process after the termination of another process is also considered a context switch. Which one of the following is NOT possible as CPU burst time (in time units) of these processes?

A
P = 4, Q = 10, R = 6, S = 2
B
P = 2, Q = 9, R = 5, S = 1
C
P = 4, Q = 12, R = 5, S = 4
D
P = 3, Q = 7, R = 7, S = 3
