Answer the following using banker's algorithm:
i) Determine the total amount of resource of each type
ii) What is the content of need matrix
iii) Determine if the system is in safe state using safety algorithm
iv) If a request from process p1 arrives for (0,4,2,0) can the request be granted immediately?

On a disk with 1,000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 999, compute the number of tracks the disk arm must move to satisfy all the requests in the disk queue. Assume that the last request serviced was at track 345 and head is moving towards track 0,. The queue in FIFO order contains requests for the following tracks: 123, 874, 692, 475, 105, 376. Perform the computation for following disk scheduling algorithms: i) FIFO ii)SSTF iii)SCAN

Consider a disk having 8 surfaces. Each surfaces having an outer diameter of 16cm and inner of 6cm and inner track space is 0.2mm. There are 32 sectors in each track. If disk address for reading a byte or sector on any surface track of disk is 27 bits. What is sector size in bytes if disk rotates at 3600rpm.What is effective data transfer rates in bytes/sec?
