A.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of binary representation:

  • From the given question, the binary value of “1/10” is represented by “0.000110011[0011]…….2”.
    • The portion of given brackets denotes the value “0011” repeated indefinitely.
    • Consider the value of “0.1” is first “23” bits of the sequence of the binary points.
      • That is “23” bits from “0.000110011[0011]…….2” is “0.00011001100110011001100”.
      • It is assumed as the “x” value.
  • Now computing the value of “0.1 – x” is shown below:
    • The binary value of “0.1” is “0.00011001100110011001100”.
    • The binary value of “x” is “0.00011001100110011001100”.
    • Determining the value of “0.1 – x” means.
      • The value of “x” is in negative. So, need to take 2’s complement

        Binary value of “x”: 0.00011001100110011001100

        1’s complement: 1...

B.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of decimal representation:

  • From the given question, the binary value of “1/10” is represented by “0.000110011[0011]…….2”.
    • The portion of given brackets denotes the value “0011” repeated indefinitely.
    • Consider the value of “0.1” is first “23” bits of the sequence of the binary points.
      • That is “23” bits from “0.000110011[0011]…….2” is “0.00011001100110011001100”.
      • It is assumed as the “x” value...

C.

Explanation of Solution

Time calculation of difference between the actual time and the time computed by the software:

From the given question, the system had been running for around “100” hours. So, from the part B, the time computed by the software is “9.54 × 10-8 × 100 hours”.

In general, 1 hour =  60 × 60 seconds. Then 9.54 × 10-8 × 100 × 60×60

From the given question, the counter is increment at “0

D.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of prediction:

From the given question, a Scud travels at around 2,000 meters per second.

From the part C, the time is “0.343” seconds...

Please refer to this textbook: “A. Silberschatz, P. B. Galvin and G. Gagne, “Operating System Principles,”7th Edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2006.”   And answer the following questions: Question:The Ricart& Argwala mutual exclusion algorithm: (a)   Does not depend on time stamps in messages while Lamport's does. (b)  Cannot handle the case where two or more processes request the same resource at the same time. (c)   Does not require a process to send messages to the entire group while Lamport's does. (d)  Requires fewer messages than Lamport's algorithm.
) The number of unneeded printouts is growing eve:yyear. This practice wastes paper, electricity, storage space, and natural resources. It also contributes to pollution and landfill use. If you could do one thing to reduce the practice ofunnecessary printing, what would it be? Would you restrict paper use In offices? Would you ration paper? Would you take printers away from certain types of workers? Would you forbid the printing ofcertain types of documents (such as e-mail messages)? Are such radical actions needed? If you do not agree. what types ofactions would you support
