IV. Case-Study Based Questions:
Unsolved

I . An operating system can be categorised into two modes. In one mode, a single user is
allowed to interact with the computer at a time. In other mode, multiple users share
a single CPU to carry out their tasks. When a number of users are using a CPU, their
programs are executed by allotting equal amount of time to each user or by providing
high priority to a specific job.
Based on the above case, answer the following questions:
(a) Name the mode in which a single user interacts with computer at a time.
(b) Name the mode in which multiple users work with single CPU.
(c) In which system, CPU time is equally shared among the users?
(d ) In which system, high priority is given to a specific job?
2. The user can interact with a computer in two ways. Either the user can interact using
text commands, or the users are linked with a computer through graphical illustrations.
Nowadays, people prefer using the later one because it is more user-friendly. The moment
you click an icon, a window will appear for you to work on.
