c) distributed handling
d) shared handling

14. Which of the following can be used to refer to entities within the RTOS?
a) threads
b) kernels
c) system
d) applications

15. Which of the following does not uses a shared memory?

a) process
b) thread
c) task
d) kernel
Answer: a
Explanation: The program in execution is known as the process. The process does not share
the memory space but the threads have a shared memory address. When the CPU switches
from process to another, the current information is stored in the process descriptor.

d) controller

18. Which is the coprocessor of 8086?

a) 8087
b) 8088
c) 8086
d) 8080.

19. How are negative numbers stored in a coprocessor?

a) 1’s complement
b) 2’s complement
