| Question 65 |
Which of the following is NOT true of deadlock prevention and deadlock avoidance schemes?
| In deadlock prevention, the request for resources is always granted if the resulting state is safe | |
| In deadlock avoidance, the request for resources is always granted if the result state is safe | |
| Deadlock avoidance is less restrictive than deadlock prevention | |
| Deadlock avoidance requires knowledge of resource requirements a priori |
Question 65 Explanation:
Deadlock prevention scheme handles deadlock by making sure that one of the four necessary conditions don’t occur. So, it may be the case that a resource request might be rejected even if the resulting state is safe. Hence, option (A) is false.
