Answer #1

The answer to the question is given below.

In LRU, we know that the least recently used page is replaced when the cache is full and the new referred page is not available in the cache.

But it will behave poorly when there are repeated scans of big data.
This is called SEQUENTIAL FLOODING.

An example of sequential flooding is given below in the image.





So, LRU is worst in the case of Sequential flooding. So, we can use MRU for better performance in case of sequential flooding.






If the answer helped please upvote it means a lot. For any query please comment.
