Understanding Process States

List the different states a process can be in.

• New, Ready, Running, Waiting, Terminated, Suspended

• Completed

• Blocked

• Idle

What does it mean for a process to be in the 'Running' state?

• A process in the 'Running' state is suspended and not executing.

• A process in the 'Running' state is waiting for I/O operations to complete.

• A process in the 'Running' state is terminated and no longer active.

• A process in the 'Running' state is actively executing on the CPU.

Describe the 'Ready' state of a process.

• The 'Ready' state means the process is waiting to be assigned to a processor.

• The 'Ready' state signifies the process is in a suspended state.

• The 'Ready' state means the process is currently executing on a processor.

• The 'Ready' state indicates the process has completed its execution.

What happens when a process is in the 'Blocked' state?

• The process is running without any interruptions.

• The process is using 100% CPU resources.

• The process is waiting for an event or resource to proceed.

• The process is terminated immediately.

Explain the transition from 'Ready' to 'Running'.

• A process moves from 'Ready' to 'Running' when the scheduler allocates CPU time to it.

• A process transitions to 'Running' when it is created.

• A process goes from 'Ready' to 'Running' when it is terminated.

• A process moves from 'Running' to 'Ready' when it completes execution.

What is the 'Terminated' state of a process?

• The 'Terminated' state means a process is currently running.

• The 'Terminated' state shows a process is in a suspended state.

• The 'Terminated' state signifies that a process has finished execution and is no longer active.

• The 'Terminated' state indicates a process is waiting for resources.

How does a process move from 'Running' to 'Blocked'?

• A process moves to 'Blocked' when it completes execution.

• A process moves to 'Blocked' when it is terminated.

• A process moves to 'Blocked' when it waits for a resource.

• A process moves to 'Blocked' when it is scheduled to run next.

What is the role of the process scheduler?

• The process scheduler executes all processes simultaneously.

• The process scheduler only handles memory allocation.

• The process scheduler is responsible for managing network connections.

• The process scheduler manages the execution of processes and allocates CPU time.

Define the 'New' state in process management.

• The 'New' state is when a process is currently executing.

• The 'New' state indicates a process that has completed execution.

• The 'New' state is the initial state of a process that has been created but not yet scheduled for execution.

• The 'New' state refers to a process that is waiting for user input.

What triggers a process to enter the 'Ready' state?

• When a process is waiting for I/O.

• When a process is paused.

• When a process is terminated.

• When a process is created and initialized.
