What is the primary function of a single-tasking operating system?

• To manage multiple users.

• To run one application at a time.

• To provide a graphical user interface.

• To allow background processing.

How do multi-user operating systems ensure that users do not interfere with each other's processes?

• By using a single user interface.

• By isolating user processes and managing resources effectively.

• By allowing only one user to log in at a time.

• By limiting the number of applications each user can run.

Which of the following is an example of a single-user operating system?

• Windows Server

• Linux

• MS-DOS

• Unix

Which of the following is a disadvantage of single-tasking operating systems?

• They are easier to use.

• They can only run one application at a time, limiting productivity.

• They require less hardware.

• They are more secure than multitasking systems.

In analyzing the differences between multitasking and single-tasking systems, which of the following is a critical factor?

• The number of users supported.

• The ability to run multiple applications simultaneously.

• The type of hardware required.

• The complexity of the user interface.

Which of the following statements best describes a multi-user operating system?

• It allows multiple users to access the system simultaneously.

• It is designed for a single user at a time.

• It can only run one application at a time.

• It is less secure than single-user systems.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a single-user operating system?

• Supports multiple simultaneous users.

• Designed for personal use with a single user interface.

• Requires complex resource management.

• Can run multiple applications in the background.

Which of the following best describes the resource management in a multi-user operating system?

• All users share the same resources without restrictions.

• Resources are allocated based on user priority and need.

• Only one user can access resources at a time.

• Resources are managed by a single user.

What is the main purpose of a multitasking operating system?

• To allow multiple users to access the system.

• To manage hardware resources efficiently.

• To run multiple applications simultaneously.

• To simplify the user interface.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a single-user operating system?

• Designed for one user at a time.

• Supports multiple applications running simultaneously.

• Typically used on personal computers.

• Limited resource management for multiple users.
