8. (a) Briefly explain what is a process and the different states of a process? (6 marks) (b) Briefly explain three main disk space or file allocation methods. (6 marks) (c) Three jobs P1, P2,P3,P4,P5 and P6 arrive at different times for a process. Arrival time estimated running time, and their job priorities are listed in the following table. Processes Arrival time (milli- Burst time (milli-second) second) PI P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 7 0 8 3 0 12 4 5 2 2 Calculate the "turnaround time", "average turnaround time”, "waiting time" and "average waiting time" using shortest job first scheduling algorithm.
