Hello. Please answer the attached Operating Systems questions about the Dining Philosophers Problem & Readers and Writers problem correctly.

*If you answer the questions correctly and completely, I will give you a thumbs up. Thanks.

Please answer the following Operating Systems Questions:
1. In the dining philosophers problem, let the following protocol be used: An even-
numbered philosopher always picks up his left fork before picking up his right fork; an
odd-numbered philosopher always picks up his right fork before picking up his left fork.
Will this protocol guarantee deadlock-free operation? Why or why not?
2. The readers and writers problem can be formulated in several ways with regard to which
category of processes can be started when. Carefully describe three different variations of
the problem, each one favoring (or not favoring) some category of processes. For each
variation, specify what happens when a reader or a writer becomes ready to access the
database, and what happens when a process is finished.
* Please answer correctly and completely. Thank you.
