Deadlock Quiz

A deadlock in OS is a situation where each process is waiting for a resource held by another process, creating a cycle of waiting and preventing any process from progressing.

Sure, consider three processes P1, P2, and P3, each holding a resource that another process needs. For example, P1 holds R1, P2 holds R2, and P3 holds R3. If P1 needs R2, P2 needs R3, and P3 needs R1, a deadlock occurs.

When a deadlock occurs in an OS, none of the processes involved can progress, as each is waiting for a resource held by another process in a cycle of waiting.
