Q:

Describe the Buddy system of memory allocation.

Answer

Free memory is maintained in linked lists, each of equal sized blocks. Any such block is of size 2^k. When some memory is required by a process, the block size of next higher order is chosen, and broken into two. Note that the two such pieces differ in address only in their kth bit. Such pieces are called buddies. When any used block is freed, the OS checks to see if its buddy is also free. If so, it is rejoined, and put into the original free-block linked-list.

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second

Explanation:

The eye can see images separately only if they are exhibited at an interval of more than 1/10 of a second. In the case of a movie, the still pictures come one after the other at less than this minimum interval. So we do not see them separately but only as a continuous moving picture.
