In the operating system, newly started processes can have a start in the _________(a) Blocked state(b) Running sate(c) Ready state(d) Exit stateThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.The doubt is from Modeling Computations topic in chapter Boolean Algebra and Modeling Computations of Discrete Mathematics |
Answer» RIGHT option is (c) Ready state Explanation: In the behaviour of the processes, newly started processes START their execution in a Ready state and have to wait until the OS scheduler assigns a CPU to them. At that moment, the process starts running and it stays in this state until either the scheduler decides to TAKE back the CPU (as a “time slice” has EXPIRED). |
