Multiple choice questions on memory management in operating system.

 Here In this post we will discuss the important questions of the Memory management. These questions will help you in your mid semesters exams or the semester exams or any other competitive exams. And this will also help in your upcoming  AKTU semester exam. 


The topics cover in it are:-

Basics of memory management, Multiprogramming with fixed partitions, Multiprogramming with variable partitions, Protection schemes
