    1). Q1 How does a system detect thrashing? Once it detect
    thrashing, what can the system do to eliminate this problem?

    Sol: In simple words, thrashing is a situation where whenever a process needs to run, it swaps out
    some other processes working set to disk. This happens when all the processes working set sizes
    sum to larger than the amount of physical memory available in the system.
    Thrashing can be detected by the system when the CPU utilization starts decreasing and the
    number of page faults increases considerably.

    Solution:2.

    Number of frames LRU FIFO Optimal


    1 20 20 20
    2 18 18 15
    3 15 16 11
    4 10 14 8
    5 8 10 7

    Ans3:
    With a single copy, several concurrent updates to a file may result in user obtaining incorrect
    information, and the file being left in an incorrect state. With multiple copies, there is storage
    waste and the various copies may not be consistent with respect to each other.

    Ans.4:

    Contiguous -- If file is usually accessed sequentially, if file is relatively small.

    Indexed-- If file is large and usually accessed randomly.

    Ans5:

    Segmentation and paging are often combined in order to improve upon each other. Segmented
    paging is helpful when the page table becomes very large. Paged segmentation handles the case
    of having very long segments that require a lot of time for allocation. By paging the segments,
    we reduce wasted memory due to external fragmentation as well as simplify the allocation.
    Ans:6:
    B. Randomly: A movie player that allows user to start playing movie at random
    locations of the file.
