Consider three processes P1, P2, P3 requiring 24, 3, and 3 units of CPU time respectively. For a time quantum of 4 units and Round-Robin scheduling policy, the average waiting time is:

  1. A.

    5.66 units

  2. B.

    17 units

  3. C.

    10 units

  4. D.

    15.66 units

Attempted by 327 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

With RR (q=4), completion times are P2=7, P3=10, P1=30. Waiting times: P1=6, P2=4, P3=7. Average waiting time = (6+4+7)/3 = 5.66 units.
