📝 Sample Questions

Q1. What are the two primary factors determining how often to invoke the deadlock detection algorithm?

🔹 A. CPU speed and memory size.
🔹 B. How often deadlocks occur and how many processes are affected.
🔹 C. Number of resources and number of users.
🔹 D. Disk space and network bandwidth.

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: B

Q2. Can the detection algorithm prevent deadlocks?

🔹 A. Yes, if run frequently.
🔹 B. No, it only detects them after they occur.
🔹 C. Yes, if it identifies the cause.
🔹 D. No, it only avoids them.

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: B

Q3. Why is it problematic if the number of processes in a deadlock cycle grows?

🔹 A. It makes the system faster.
🔹 B. It increases the number of idle resources and complicates recovery.
🔹 C. It reduces CPU usage significantly.
🔹 D. It simplifies the detection algorithm.

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: B
