Disk scheduling includes deciding
- A.
Which should be accessed next
- B.
Order in which disk access requests must be serviced
- C.
The physical location of the file
- D.
The logical location of the file
Correct Answer
B. Order in which disk access requests must be servicedExplanation
Disk scheduling involves determining the order in which disk access requests should be serviced. This means deciding the sequence in which the pending disk requests should be executed in order to optimize the disk's performance and minimize the access time. By efficiently organizing the order of disk accesses, disk scheduling algorithms aim to reduce the average seek time and enhance overall system efficiency. Therefore, the correct answer is "order in which disk access requests must be serviced."Rate this question:

Memory protection is normally done by
- A.
The processor and the associated hardware
- B.
The operating system
- C.
The compiler
- D.
The user program
Correct Answer
A. The processor and the associated hardwareExplanation
Memory protection is a crucial aspect of computer systems to prevent unauthorized access or modification of memory. The responsibility of memory protection lies with the processor and the associated hardware. The hardware implements mechanisms like memory management units (MMUs) and access control lists (ACLs) to ensure that each process can only access its allocated memory and cannot interfere with other processes' memory. The processor enforces these protections by checking memory access requests against the defined permissions. The operating system, compiler, and user program may play a role in configuring these protections, but the actual implementation and enforcement are done by the processor and associated hardware.Rate this question:

- A.
Access point is not required
- B.
Access point is must
- C.
Nodes are not required
- D.
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Access point is not requiredExplanation
In a wireless ad-hoc network, an access point is not required because this type of network is decentralized and does not rely on a central access point for communication. Instead, all nodes in the network can directly communicate with each other, forming a self-configuring network without the need for an access point. This allows for more flexibility and scalability in the network, as nodes can easily join or leave the network without disrupting the overall connectivity.Rate this question:
