Two-State Process Model

Question 1

In two-state process model, a process can either be in a running state or in a not running state [T/F]

True

Question 2

When the OS creates a new process, it creates a process control block for the new process and adds the new process into the not running state of the system. Then, the process waits for an opportunity to execute.

Answer 2

Not running state

Question 3

Answer 3

Running state

Question 4

The queue in the not running state would be in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) arrangement, wherein each process in the queue is given a certain amount of time, alternately, to execute and then return to the queue, unless completed.
