Multiple choice

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Priority algorithm suffers from starvation

  2. FCFS is a non-preemptive algorithm

  3. Round Robin scheduling can be both preemptive and non-preemptive

  4. SJF is provably optimal

  5. FCFS algorithm is not used in time sharing systems
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

If the time quantum is large enough, it will behave as a non-preemptive algorithm, but if the time quantum is too small, then it will behave as preemptive algorithm. So, this is the required answer as this statement is incorrect.
