This document contains information about exam questions for four units of an Operating Systems course. Unit III asks students to either explain different ways of organizing page tables in paging systems with examples, or discuss Belady's anomaly and design issues in paging systems. Unit IV asks students to either solve a resource allocation problem to find the minimum value of x for a system to be in a safe state, or discuss conditions for deadlock, deadlock detection with multiple resources, and Banker's algorithm. Unit V asks students to discuss file systems in Windows 98 and UNIX, or write short notes on topics related to computer security like trojan horses, buffer overflow, trap doors, and security design principles.
