Os Question Bank

This document contains a question bank for an Operating Systems exam for 4th semester Computer Engineering and Information Technology students. It includes 23 questions divided into two units - the first on operating system concepts and the second on processes and scheduling. The questions cover topics such as multiprogramming, operating system functions, process states, preemptive vs nonpreemptive scheduling, FCFS vs SJF scheduling algorithms, process control blocks, thread models, and criteria for evaluating CPU scheduling algorithms. Students will be tested on their understanding of these fundamental operating system and process scheduling concepts.
