Q1. What is the fundamental principle of the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) scheduling algorithm?

🔹 A. The shortest process gets CPU first
🔹 B. The process that requests CPU first is allocated CPU first
🔹 C. The process with highest priority gets CPU first
🔹 D. The CPU is allocated in round-robin fashion

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: B

Q2. Why is FCFS particularly troublesome for time-sharing systems?

🔹 A. It uses too much memory
🔹 B. It doesn't allow regular CPU sharing among users

🔹 D. It consumes too much power

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: B

Q3. Which scenario best illustrates the convoy effect in FCFS?

🔹 A. Multiple CPU-bound processes running simultaneously
🔹 B. One CPU-bound process holding CPU while I/O-bound processes wait
🔹 C. All processes completing in short bursts
🔹 D. Processes with equal burst times

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: B
