Candidates Are Required To Give Their Answers in Their Own Words As Far As Practicable. The Figures in The Margin Indicate Full Marks

1) The document appears to be an exam for a course on operating systems, with 7 questions testing students' knowledge of key OS concepts. 2) The questions cover major OS topics like processes and scheduling, memory management, I/O systems, and more. Students are asked to define terms, explain algorithms, and solve example problems related to these topics. 3) The exam indicates it is for a bachelor's level operating systems course, with a total of 100 marks and a time limit of 3 hours for students to complete the exam.
