CPU Scheduling Algorithms Quiz

Which scheduling algorithm selects the process that has the least estimated execution time remaining?

• First-Come, First-Served (FCFS)

• Shortest Job First (SJF)

• Shortest Remaining Time First (SRTF)

• Round Robin (RR)

What happens if a new process arrives with a shorter burst time than the currently running process in a preemptive scheduling algorithm?

• The current process continues execution

• The new process is placed at the end of the queue

• The current process is preempted and the new process starts execution

• Both processes execute simultaneously

Which CPU scheduling algorithm guarantees that the first process to request the CPU gets executed first?

• Round Robin

• Priority Scheduling

• First-Come, First-Served

• Shortest Job First

In which scheduling algorithm does every process get a fixed time slice to execute?

• Shortest Job First

• Round Robin

• Priority Scheduling

• First-Come, First-Served

Which metric in process scheduling measures the time from process submission to its completion?

• Waiting Time

• Turnaround Time

• Response Time

• Throughput

In Round Robin scheduling, what is the key factor that determines how often a process gets CPU time?

• Priority of the process

• Time quantum

• Arrival time

• Execution time

Which CPU scheduling algorithm may cause starvation for long processes?

• First-Come, First-Served

• Round Robin

• Shortest Job First

• Priority Scheduling

What is the primary disadvantage of Priority Scheduling?

• High response time

• Starvation of lower-priority processes

• Inefficient CPU utilization

• Increased turnaround time

Which scheduling algorithm is best suited for time-sharing systems?

• First-Come, First-Served

• Shortest Job First

• Round Robin

• Priority Scheduling

If a system uses Priority Scheduling and a process with higher priority arrives, what happens?

• The current process completes execution

• The higher-priority process preempts the current process

• The new process waits in the queue

• Both processes execute simultaneously
