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)
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?
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 binary semaphore is a semaphore with integer values ____________
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?
The code that changes the value of the semaphore is ____________
If x - y = 8, then which of the following must be true?  1. Both x and y must be positive for any value of x and y. 2. If x is positive, y must be negative for any value of x and y. 3. If x is negative, y must be positive for any value of x and y.  Select the correct answer using the code given below. 
To produce an old photograph, a photographer charges x dollars to make a negative, 3x/5 dollars for each of the first 10 prints, and x/5 dollars for each print in excess of 10 prints. If 45 dollars is the total charge to make a negative and 20 prints from an old photograph, how many dollars the photographer charges to make a negative?
