For a deadlock to occur, each of the necessary conditions must hold. By ensuring that at least one of these conditions cannot hold, we can prevent the occurrence of a deadlock. Give one approach individually to prevent each of these necessary conditions.

PreviousConsider the following page reference string: 7, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 7, 1, 0, 5, 4, 6, 2, 3, 0, 1. How many page faults would occur for the FIFO, LRU and Optimal page replacement algorithms, assuming demand paging with four frames? Remember that all frames are initially empty, so first unique pages will cost one fault each.NextConsider a system with five processes P0 through P4 and have three resource types A, B, C. Resource type A has ten instances, resource type B has five instances, and resource type C has seven instances. Suppose that the following snapshot represents the current state of the system: | | Allocation | Max | Available | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | | | A B C | A B C | A B C | | P0 | 0 1 0 | 7 5 3 | 3 3 2 | | P1 | 2 0 0 | 3 2 2 | | | P2 | 3 0 2 | 9 0 2 | | | P3 | 2 1 1 | 2 2 2 | | | P4 | 0 0 2 | 4 3 3 | | The system is currently in safe state. Suppose now that P1 requests additional resources as (A=1, B=0, C=2). Is this request can be immediately granted? Justify your answer.
