    Given the following code snippet implementing a Round

    Robin CPU scheduling algorithm, what will be the output when the processes are scheduled? def round_robin(processes, burst_time, quantum):     n = len(processes)     waiting_time = [0] * n     remaining_time = burst_time[:]     t = 0     while True:         done = True         for i in range(n):             if remaining_time[i] > 0:                 done = False                 if remaining_time[i] > quantum:                     t += quantum                     remaining_time[i] -= quantum                 else:                     t += remaining_time[i]                     waiting_time[i] = t - burst_time[i]                     remaining_time[i] = 0         if done:             break     return waiting_time processes = [1, 2, 3] burst_time = [10, 5, 8] quantum = 2 waiting_time = round_robin(processes, burst_time, quantum) print(waiting_time)
    A [12, 3, 6] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B [14, 5, 8] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C [10, 2, 4] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D [9, 1, 2] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E [0, 0, 0] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Round Robin scheduling algorithm allocates a fixed time quantum to each process. In the given example, three processes have burst times of 10, 5, and 8, respectively. With a time quantum of 2, each process is executed in turn until all are completed. The waiting times for each process are calculated as follows: • Process 1: Waiting time = Total time elapsed - Burst time = 20 - 10 = 12 • Process 2: Waiting time = 5 - 5 = 3 • Process 3: Waiting time = Total time elapsed - Burst time = 20 - 8 = 6 Thus, the output is [12, 3, 6]. Why Other Options Are Wrong: B) [14, 5, 8]: This option is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the waiting times computed in the Round Robin scheduling. C) [10, 2, 4]: This option is incorrect because it implies significantly lower waiting times than calculated. D) [9, 1, 2]: This option is incorrect as it underestimates the waiting times based on the execution order. E) [0, 0, 0]: This option is incorrect as it assumes no waiting time at all, which is not the case.
