- Q3What is memory management in computer science?A process of designing computer hardware components.A process of allocating and deallocating memory to programs and processes in a computer system.A process of organizing computer networks.A process of managing computer files and folders.30s
- Q4What is disk scheduling in computer science?A process of managing computer files and folders.A process of organizing computer networks.A process of designing computer hardware components.A process of selecting the order in which disk requests are served by a disk controller.30s
- Q5What is virtual memory in computer science?A process of managing computer files and folders.A memory management technique that uses disk space as an extension of RAM.A process of designing computer hardware components.A process of organizing computer networks.30s
- Q6What is the purpose of cache memory in computer systems?To store network traffic data.To store frequently accessed data closer to the CPU for faster access.To store long-term data backups.To store operating system files.30s
- Q7What is memory paging?A way of protecting memory from unauthorized access.A process of transferring data between primary and secondary storage.A method used by operating systems to divide a program into fixed-size blocks called pages and store them in physical memory.A technique used to compress memory size.A way of arranging data in a specific order.30s
- Q8What is the purpose of memory paging in operating systems?To reduce the size of physical memory.To increase the processing speed of the CPU.To protect memory from unauthorized access.To allow for efficient memory management and enable larger programs to be run using virtual memory.To organize data in a specific order.30s
- Q9What is a policy in operating systems?The physical components of a computer system.A programming language used to write operating systems.A rule or guideline that determines how a specific task or resource is allocated.A type of software that controls the operation of a computer system.30s
- Q10What is the purpose of a scheduling policy in operating systems?To determine the order in which tasks are executed.To allocate memory resources to different processes.To provide a graphical user interface for the operating system.To control the access and usage of files and directories.30s
- Q11What is the purpose of a virtual memory policy in operating systems?To provide an illusion of a larger memory space than physically available.To determine the order in which tasks are executed.To allocate CPU resources to different processes.To control the access and usage of files and directories.30s
- Q12What is the purpose of task scheduling in multitasking operating systems?To allocate memory resources to each task.BTo determine the order in which tasks are executed by the CPU.To limit the number of tasks that can be executed simultaneously.To handle multiple users at the same time.30s
- Q13What is multitasking in operating systems?Executing only one task at a timeExecuting tasks randomlyExecuting tasks sequentiallyExecuting multiple tasks simultaneously30s
- Q14What is an interrupt in an operating system?A type of virus that disrupts the normal operation of an operating system.A type of error that occurs when a program crashes.A process of removing a program from memory.A signal that suspends the execution of a program and transfers control to a specific function called an interrupt handler.An event that allows a program to perform input and output operations.30s
- Q15What is polling in operating systems?A method to constantly check if an event has occurredA form of communication between processesA method to prioritize processesA type of voting system for selecting the next process30s
