Solution:
The problem requires determining whether a system is in a safe state using the Banker’s
Algorithm. The analysis involves evaluating the system’s current state based on:
Available resources.
Resources already allocated to processes.
Resource requests from processes.
A system is in a safe state if it can allocate resources to all processes in some order without
causing a deadlock.

2 P0 [6, 2, 5] [6, 3, 5] P2 → P0
3 P3 [6, 3, 5] [8, 4, 6] P2 → P0 → P3
4 P1 [8, 4, 6] [10, 4, 6] P2 → P0 → P3 → P1
5 P4 [10, 4, 6] [10, 4, 8] P2 → P0 → P3 → P1 → P4
Conclusion:
Outcome Details
Safe State Yes, the system is in a safe state.
Safe Sequence P2 → P0 → P3 → P1 → P4
Additional Notes
Banker’s Algorithm: A deadlock avoidance algorithm that ensures the system remains in
a safe state.
Need Matrix: Represents the additional resources each process requires to complete
execution.
Work Vector: Tracks available resources at each step, ensuring that the processes can
safely proceed.
