GATE CS 2020 CPU Scheduling PYQ

GATE 2020

Q50. Consider the following set of processes, assumed to have arrived at time 0. Consider the CPU scheduling algorithms Shortest Job First (SJF) and Round Robin (RR). For RR, assume that the processes are scheduled in the order P!, P2, P3, P4.

Average Turn Around Time (18+21+10+14)/4 = 15.75
Absolute value of the difference = | 10.75 – 15.75 | =5.25
