The ext4 file system is commonly used in UNIX-like operating systems for its performance and reliability.

NTFS (New Technology File System) is known for its journaling capability, which helps in recovering from crashes.

NTFS (New Technology File System) is known for its journaling feature, which helps in data recovery.

An inode table is used in many file systems to efficiently manage file metadata and access.

An inode is a data structure used to store metadata about a file, including its size, owner, and location.

Paging allows for non-contiguous memory allocation by dividing memory into fixed-size pages.

Paging allows processes to be divided into fixed-size pages that can be loaded into non-contiguous memory.

Paging allows processes to be divided into fixed-size pages that can be loaded into non-contiguous memory spaces.

A real-time operating system is characterized by its deterministic response time, ensuring timely processing of inputs.

Threads within the same process share the same memory space, allowing for efficient communication.

Terminal is a command-line interface, while the others are graphical interfaces.

Circular wait is a common cause of deadlock, where processes wait on each other in a circular chain.

All of the options listed (mutexes, semaphores, and pipes) are common methods for inter-process communication.

The Banker's algorithm is a deadlock avoidance method that allocates resources based on safe states.

Using a resource allocation graph can help in detecting and preventing deadlocks by showing the allocation and request of resources.

Mutual exclusion is one of the necessary conditions for a deadlock to occur.

File management is a function of system software, which helps manage files on a computer.

RTOS stands for Real-Time Operating System.

Linux is an example of open-source software, which means its source code is available for anyone to use and modify.

Windows is an example of system software, while the others are application software.

Linux is an operating system, while the others are applications.

Processes can be interdependent; they can communicate and synchronize with each other.

Threads are lighter than processes; they share the same memory space and are designed for concurrent execution.

Word processing is a function of application software, not an operating system.

File systems are not a method of synchronization; they are used for data storage.

Hold and wait is a condition that can lead to deadlock, not a prevention technique.

Shortest Job Next (SJN) allocates CPU time to the process with the smallest execution time.

Shortest Job First (SJF) scheduling allocates CPU time to the process with the shortest remaining time.

Shortest Job Next (SJN) schedules processes based on the shortest execution time.

Round Robin scheduling allocates a fixed time slice to each process, ensuring fairness in CPU time distribution.
