What hole will allocates in "Worst-Fit" algorithm of memory management?
A. It allocates the smaller hole than required memory hole
B. It allocates the smallest hole from the available memory holes
C. It allocates the largest hole from the available memory holes
D. It allocates the exact same size memory hole
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Worst Fit allocates a process to the partition which is largest sufficient among the freely available partitions available in the main memory. If a large process comes at a later stage, then memory will not have space to accommodate it.This Question Belongs to Computer Fundamentals >> Operating System

If there are multiple recycle bin for a hard disk
A. You can set different size for each recycle bin
B. You can choose which recycle bin to use to store your deleted files
C. You can make any one of them default recycle bin
D. None of above
A. You can find deleted files in recycle bin
B. You can restore any files in recycle bin if you ever need
C. You can increase free space of disk by sending files in recycle bin
D. You can right click and choose Empty Recycle Bin to clean it at once
If the displayed system time and date is wrong, you can reset it using
A. Write
B. Calendar
C. Write file
D. Control panel
These partitions may be allocated in 4 ways:
1. First-Fit Memory Allocation
2. Best-Fit Memory Allocation
3. Worst-Fit Memory Allocation
4. Next-Fit Memory Allocation
These are Contiguous memory allocation techniques.
Worst-Fit Memory Allocation :
In this allocation technique, the process traverses the whole memory and always search for the largest hole/partition, and then the process is placed in that hole/partition. It is a slow process because it has to traverse the entire memory to search the largest hole.
