Answers OSY First Sessional.

2Marks
Q1) State any four services of operating system.
Ans) :-
1) Process Management
2) Memory Management
3) File System Management
4) Device Management

Q2) Define Deadlock.


Ans):- Deadlock is a situation in an operating system where two
or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting
for a resource held by the other, leading to an indefinite halt in
execution.

Q3)Enlist Components of Operating System. (Any four).


Ans) :-
1) Kernel
2) File System
3) Device Drivers
4)User Interface (Shell)
Q4) Define Operating System.
Ans):- An Operating System (OS) is software that manages
hardware, runs applications, and provides an interface between
the user and the computer.

Q5) Describe System Calls.


Ans):-An Operating System (OS) is software that manages
hardware, runs applications, and provides an interface between
the user and the computer.

4 Marks
Q1) Explain different types of system calls.
Ans):-
System calls are classified into four main types:
1.Process Control: Manages process creation, termination, and
synchronization (e.g., `fork()`, `exit()`).
2. File Management: Handles file operations like open, read,
write, and close (e.g., `open()`, `read()`).
3.Device Management: Manages device input/output operations
(e.g., `ioctl()`, `write()`).
4. Memory Management: Allocates and frees memory for
processes (e.g., `malloc()`, `free()`).
Q2)Explain real time OS. Explain its types.
Ans):-
A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)processes tasks within
strict timing constraints to ensure timely responses.

Types:
1. Hard Real-Time OS: Guarantees task completion within
deadlines.
2. Soft Real-Time OS: Aims for timely task execution but can
tolerate occasional deadline misses.

Q3)Differentiate Multi-tasking and Multi Programming.


Multi-tasking Multiprogramming
Definition: Allows Definition: Involves
multiple tasks or running multiple
processes to run programs or processes
concurrently by on a single CPU by
rapidly switching switching between
between them. them based on their
needs

Objective: Provides Objective: Increases


the appearance of CPU utilization by
simultaneous keeping it busy with
execution. multiple jobs.

Example: Modern
operating systems like Example: Early batch
Windows and Linux. processing systems.

Q4)What is PCB? Explain its purpose.


Ans):-
PCB (Process Control Block) is a data structure used by the
operating system to manage processes. It contains:

1. Process State: Information about the current state of the


process.
2. Program Counter: The address of the next instruction to
execute.
3. CPU Registers: Values of registers used by the process.
4. Memory Management: Details about memory allocation and
limits.
