Os MCQ 2

The document discusses operating system concepts including: - System calls provide the interface for accessing operating system services, such as open, close, read, and write. - CPU scheduling is the basis for multiprogramming operating systems which allow multiple processes to share resources. - The kernel is the core of the operating system - it remains in memory during the entire computer session, manages resources, and provides services to processes. - The operating system handles all errors mentioned, including printer issues, network failures, and power failures by continuously monitoring resources. - The operating system is placed in either low or high memory depending on the location of the interrupt vector.

6. Which one of the following is not true?
a) kernel remains in the memory during the entire computer session
b) kernel is made of various modules which can not be loaded in running operating
system
c) kernel is the first part of the operating system to load into memory during booting
d) kernel is the program that constitutes the central core of the operating system
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Kernel is the first program that is loaded in memory when OS is loading as
well as it remains in memory till OS is running. Kernel is the core part of the OS which is
responsible for managing resources, allowing multiple processes to use the resources
and provide services to various processes. Kernel modules can be loaded and unloaded in
run-time i.e. in running OS.

7. Which one of the following errors will be handle by the operating system?
a) lack of paper in printer
b) connection failure in the network
c) power failure
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: All the mentioned errors are handled by OS. The OS is continuously
monitoring all of its resources. Also, the OS is constantly detecting and correcting errors.

a) either low or high memory (depending on the location of interrupt vector)
b) in the low memory
c) in the high memory
d) none of the mentioned
