Consider the following solution to the producer-consumer synchronization problem. The shared buffer size is ?. Three semaphores empty, full and mutex are defined with respective initial values of 0, ? and 1. Semaphore empty denotes the number of available slots in the buffer, for the consumer to read from. Semaphore denotes the number of available slots in the buffer, for the producer to write to. The placeholder variables, denoted by P, Q, R, and S, in the code below can be assigned either empty or full. The valid semaphore operations are: wait ( ) and signal ( ). Producer: Consumer: do {         wait (P) ;         wait (mutex) ;         //Add item to buffer         signal (mutex) ;         signal (Q) ; } while (1) ; do {          wait (R) ;          wait (mutex) ;          //Consume item from buffer          signal (mutex) ;          signal (S) ; } while (1) ;   Which one of the following assignments to P, Q, R and S will yield the correct solution?
A shared variable x, initialized to zero, is operated on by four concurrent processes W, X, Y, Z as follows. Each of the processes W and X reads x from memory, increments by one, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each of the processes Y and Z reads x from memory, decrements by two, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each process before reading x invokes the P operation (i.e., wait) on a counting semaphore S and invokes the V operation (i.e., signal) on the semaphore S after storing x to memory. Semaphore S is initialized to two. What is the maximum possible value of x after all processes complete execution?
The signal operation of the semaphore basically works on the basic _______ system call.
Consider the following threads, T1, T2, and T3 executing on a single processor, synchronized using three binary semaphore variables, S1, S2, and S3, operated upon using standard wait() and signal(). The threads can be context switched in any order and at any time. T1 T2 T3 While(true) { Wait(S3); Print(“C”); Signal (S2); } While(true) { Wait(S1); Print(“B”); Signal (S3); } While(true) { Wait(S2); Print(“A”); Signal (S1); }   Which initialization of the semaphores would print the sequence BCABCABCA….?
At a particular time of computation the value of a counting semaphore is 7.Then 20 P operations and 15 V operations were completed on this semaphore. The resulting value of the semaphore is? (GATE 1987)

Q.(1-4): Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below. * F,G and H are insurance companies , Q,R,S and T are private detectives .Each detective works for at least one of the insurance companies. * Q always works for F and at least one of the other companies. Some of the time G employs only one of these detectives,' the rest of the time it employs exactly two of them. *F and H each employ exactly two of these detectives all the time. If R works for H only, and if S works for G and H only, T works for--

Consider the procedure below for the Producer-Consumer problem which uses semaphores: semaphore n = 0; semaphore s = 1;   void producer() { while(true) { produce(); semWait(s); addToBuffer(); semSignal(s); semSignal(n); } }         void consumer() {            while(true)            {             semWait(s);             semWait(n);             removeFromBuffer();             semSignal(s);              consume();              } }   Which one of the following is TRUE?
