A computer has six tape drives, with n processes competing for them. Each process may need two drives. What is the maximum value of n for the system to be deadlock free?
Correct Answer: B
Question 43 Explanation:
Each process needs 2 drives. So for deadlock just give each process one drive. So total 6 process can be given 1 drive each and can cause deadlock. So to break deadlock just reduce 1 process.
So maximum no. of process for the system to be deadlock free is 5.
So maximum no. of process for the system to be deadlock free is 5.
