Assignment – Unit 1

Course: Fundamentals of Operating Systems (ENCA202)

Program: BCA

Unit-1: Introduction to Operating Systems, Process and CPU Scheduling

Mapped CO: CO1 – Understanding the fundamental concepts of operating systems and
their structure

Total Marks: 10

Assignment Questions

Q1. Conceptual Understanding (3 Marks)


Modern operating systems serve as an interface between user applications and hardware
resources.
a) Critically explain the core objectives of an operating system in resource management
and process coordination.
b) Examine how time-sharing operating systems improve system utilization and user
interaction compared to batch systems.

Q2. Operating System Architecture (2 Marks)


Operating systems may follow different structural designs such as monolithic, layered,
and virtual machine architectures.
Explain the layered structure of an operating system and discuss how this design
enhances modularity, maintainability, and system security.

Q3. Numerical Problem – CPU Scheduling (5 Marks)


(a) A system receives the following processes with their arrival times and CPU burst
times.

Process Arrival Time Burst Time


P1 0 7
P2 2 4
P3 4 1
P4 5 4
a) Construct the Gantt Chart using Shortest Job First (Non-Preemptive) scheduling.
b) Determine the Waiting Time and Turnaround Time for each process.
c) Compute the Average Waiting Time and Average Turnaround Time.
d) Briefly interpret how SJF scheduling improves CPU efficiency compared to FCFS.
(b) Non-Preemptive Priority Scheduling

Given the following processes:

Process Arrival Time Burst Time Priority

P1 0 5 2

P2 1 3 1

P3 2 8 4

P4 3 6 3

Note: Lower number = Higher priority

Tasks:

1. Draw Gantt Chart

2. Calculate completion time, waiting time and TAT for each process step-by-step.

3. Find Average Waiting Time and TAT
