Question 30.
Write short notes on time-sharing.
Answer:
Time sharing is one of the features of Operating Systems. It allows execution of multiple tasks or processes concurrently. For each task a fixed time is allocated. This division of time is called Time- sharing. The processor switches rapidly between various processes after a time is elapsed or the process is completed.
Eg: Assume that there are three processes called P1, P2, P3 and time allocated for each process 30, 40, 50 minutes respectively. If the process PI completes within 20 minutes then processor takes the next process P2 for the execution. If the process P2 could not complete within 40 minutes, then the current process P2 will be paused and switch over to the next process P3.
Question 31.
Write the responsibilities of operating system in connection with memory management.
Answer:
The Operating System is responsible for the following activities in connection with memory management:
- Keeping track of which portion of memory are currently being used and who is using them.
- Determining which processes (or parts of processes) and data to move in and out of memory.
- Allocation and de-allocation of memory blocks as needed by the program in main memory. (Garbage Collection)
Question 32.
Write the responsibilities of operating system associated with the process management.
Answer:
The Operating System is responsible for the following activities associated with the process management:
- Scheduling processes and threads on the CPUs.
- Creating and deleting both user and system processes.
- Suspending and resuming processes.
- Providing mechanisms for process synchronization.
- Providing mechanisms for process communication.
Question 33.

Answer:
File management is an important function of OS which handles the data storage techniques. The operating System manages the files, folders and directory systems on a computer. Any type of data in a computer is stored in the form of files and directories/ folders through File Allocation Table (FAT). The FAT stores general information about files like filename, type (text or binary), size, starting address and access mode (sequential/ indexed/indexed-sequential/direct/relative).
Question 34.

Linux is a family of open-source operating systems. It can be modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This is different from proprietary software like Windows, which can only be modified by the company that owns it. The main advantage of Linux operating system is that it is open source. There are many versions and their updates. Most of the servers run on Linux because it is easy to customize.
Linux distributions: Linux mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, BOSS, Redhat.
Question 36.
Write in detail about memory management.
Answer:
Memory Management is the process of controlling and coordinating computer’s main memory and assigning memory block (space) to various running programs to optimize overall computer performance. It involves the allocation of specific memory blocks to individual programs based on user demands. At the application level, memory management ensures the availability of adequate memory for each running program at all times.
The Operating System is responsible for the following activities in connection with memory management:
(i) Keeping track of which portion of memory are currently being used and who is using them.

Question 39.
Explain in detail the User Interface (Ul) in operating system.
Answer:
User interface is one of the significant feature in Operating System. The only way that user can make interaction with a computer. If the computer interface is not user-friendly, the user slowly reduces the computer usage from their normal life. This is a main reason for key success of GUI (Graphical User Interface) based Operating System.
The GUI is a window based system with a pointing device to direct I/O, choose from menus, make selections and a keyboard to enter text. Its vibrant colours attract the user very easily. Beginners are impressed by the help and pop up window message boxes. Icons are playing vital role of the particular application.
Now Linux distribution is also available as GUI based Operating System. The following points are considered when User Interface is designed for an application.
(i) The user interface should enable the user to retain this expertise for a longer time.
(ii) The user interface should also satisfy the customer based on their needs.
(iii) The user interface should save user’s precious time. Create graphical elements like Menus,Window,Tabs, Icons and reduce typing work will be an added advantage of the Operating System.
(iv) The ultimate aim of any product is to satisfy the customer. The User Interface is also to satisfy the customer.
(v) The user interface should reduce number of errors committed by the user with little practice the user should be in a position to avoid errors (Error Log File).
Question 40.
Explain the process management.
Answer:
Process management is function that includes creating and deleting processes and providing mechanisms for processes to communicate and synchronize with each other. A process is the unit of work (program) in a computer. A word-processing program being run by an individual user on a computer is a process. A system task, such as sending output to a printer or screen, can also be called as a Process.
A computer consists of a collection of processes, they are classified as two categories:
(i) Operating System processes which is executed by system code.
(ii) User Processes which is execute by user code.
All these processes can potentially execute concurrently on a single CPU.
A process needs certain resources including CPU time, memory, files and I/O devices to finish its task.

Question 51.
Explain the process management algorithms in Operating System.
Answer:
The following algorithms are mainly used to allocate the job (process) to the processor,
(i) FIFO
(ii) SJF
(iii) Round Robin
(iv) Based on Priority.
(i) FIFO (First In First Out) Scheduling:
The process that enters the queue first is executed first by the CPU, followed by the next and so on. The processes are executed in the order of the queue (row).
(ii) SJF (Shortest Job First) Scheduling:
This algorithm works based on the size of the job being executed by the CPU. Consider two j obs A and B.
(a) A = 6 kilo bytes, (b) B = 9 kilo bytes First the job “A” will be assigned and then job “B” gets its turn.
(iii) Round Robin Scheduling:
This algorithm is designed especially for time sharing systems. Jobs (processes) are assigned and processor time in a circular method. Take three jobs A, B, C. First the job A is assigned to CPU then job B and job C and then again A, B and C and so on.
(iv) Based On Priority:
The given job (process) is assigned based on a Priority. The job which has higher priority is more important than other jobs. Eg: Take two jobs A and B. Let the priority of A be 5 and priority B be 7.
Job B is assigned to the processor before job A.
Question 52.

The distributed operating system takes care of the data and application that are stored and processed on multiple physical locations across the world over the digital network (internet/intranet). The Distributed Operating System is used to access shared data and files . that reside in any machine around the world. The user can handle the data from different locations. The users can access as if it is available on their own computer.
The advantages of distributed Operating System are as follows:
(i) A user at one location can make use of all the resources available at another location over the network.
(ii) Many computer resourcgs can be added easily in the network.
(iii) Improves the interaction with the customers and clients.
(iv) Reduces the load on the host computer.
Question 53.
