• True
• False

Application programs do not need operating systems in order to work.

• True
• False

A linker program

• places the program in the memory for the purpose of execution.

• relocates the program to execute from the specific memory area allocated to it.

• links the program with other programs needed for its execution.

• interfaces the program with the entities generating its input data.

which of the following are used to reduce memory requirement

• loader

• linker

• overlays

• all of the above

Relocatable programs

• cannot be used with fixed partitions

• can be loaded almost anywhere in memory

• do not need a linker

• can be loaded only at one specific location

Static memory allocation is typically performed during _____________.

• compilation

• execution

• loading

• linking

If load origin is not equal to linked origin then relocation is performed by

• Loader

• Linker

• By program itself

• Relocation not performed

Which is not a function of a loader

• allocation

• translation

• relocation

• loading

The non-relocatable program is one which

• can not be made to execute in any area to storage other than the one designated for it at the time of its coding or translation

• consists of a program and relevant information for its relocation

• can itself perform the relocation of its address sensitive positions

• all of the above

A self relocating program in one which

• can not be made to exercise in any area of storage other than the one designated for it at the time of its coding or translation

• consists of a program and relevant information for its relocation

• one itself perform the relocation of its address sensitive positions

• all of the above
