Q:

What is a zombie?

Answer

When a program forks and the child finishes before the parent, the kernel still keeps some of its information about the child in case the parent might need it – for example, the parent may need to check the child’s exit status. To be able to get this information, the parent calls `wait()’; In the interval between the child terminating and the parent calling `wait()’, the child is said to be a `zombie’ (If you do `ps’, the child will have a `Z’ in its status field to indicate this.)

A) 12 B) 14
C) 15 D) 19
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 15

Explanation:

                                                               Father           Son

 

5years ago the age of the father & son           5X                X

 

present the age of the father & son              5X+5             X+5

 

(present age of father) + (present age of son) = 70

 

       (5x+5)                 +        (x+5)              = 70

 

 Then you will get X = 10

 

Present age of the son (x+5) = 15
