Maximize CPU utilization Create new processes Ensure efficient use of resources Minimize disk space usage 2/10 Which of the following is NOT a state of a process? Ready Running Waiting Stopping 3/10 What is a process control block (PCB) used for? Track resources used by a process Schedule CPU time for a process Store the program code of a process Manage file access permissions 4/10 Which scheduling algorithm gives priority to processes with higher service time? First Come First Serve (FCFS) Shortest Job First (SJF) Priority Scheduling Round Robin 5/10 What is the purpose of context switching in process management? Switching from user mode to kernel mode Saving and restoring CPU state for different processes Managing shared memory between processes Creating new processes 6/10 Which of the following is NOT a method of inter-process communication? Shared memory Message passing File system Semaphores 7/10 What is the purpose of a semaphore in process synchronization? Signal completion of a process Protect shared resources from simultaneous access Allocate memory to a process Terminate a process 8/10 What is the difference between a process and a thread? A process has its own memory space, while a thread shares memory with other threads in the same process A thread runs in kernel mode, while a process runs in user mode A process has a higher priority than a thread Threads cannot communicate with each other 9/10 Which of the following is NOT true about deadlock in process management? All processes are waiting for resources held by other processes Deadlocks can be resolved by aborting processes Resource allocation graph can be used to detect deadlocks Deadlocks can cause system hang 10/10 What is the purpose of a zombie process in process management? A zombie process is a terminated process that is waiting for its parent to read its exit status A zombie process consumes excessive CPU resources A zombie process cannot be terminated by the operating system A zombie process is a high priority process
