Process Synchronization Quiz

What is the main objective of process synchronization?

• To increase the speed of process execution

• To prevent data inconsistency due to concurrent access

• To ensure processes run independently

• To eliminate the need for shared resources

Which of the following is a type of process synchronization?

• Independent Process

• Static Process

• Dynamic Process

• Sequential Process

What is a race condition?

• A type of deadlock

• A method to synchronize processes

• A situation where the outcome depends on the order of execution

• A situation where processes are executed in a controlled manner

What does mutual exclusion ensure in process synchronization?

• Processes can share resources freely

• Only one process can execute in its critical section at a time

• Processes can run without any restrictions

• All processes can execute simultaneously

Which problem arises when multiple processes access shared data simultaneously?

• Increased performance

• Data loss

• Resource allocation

• Data consistency

What is the Producer-Consumer Problem?

• A problem of managing multiple producers only

• A problem of managing multiple consumers only

• A synchronization issue between producers and consumers sharing a buffer

• A method to increase buffer size

What is a critical section?

• A part of the program where shared resources are accessed

• A section of code that runs without any interruptions

• A method to increase process speed

• A type of process scheduling

What can lead to deadlock in process synchronization?

• Improper handling of shared resources

• Lack of resource sharing

• Proper synchronization

• Efficient process scheduling

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a solution to the critical section problem?

• Mutual Exclusion

• Unlimited Access

• Progress

• Bounded Waiting

What is the Dining Philosophers Problem an example of?

• Data integrity

• Synchronization issues

• Process scheduling

• Resource allocation
