A multiprogramming operating system has a negligible overhead. It services programs that are identical in size. Each program contains a loop that has n iterations, where each iteration contains computations that consume tc ms of CPU time, followed by I/O operations that require tio ms. The programs are of two classes; values of n, tc, and tio for these two classes are:

Class

n

tc

tio

A

5

15

100

B

6

200

80

The system has sufficient memory to accommodate only two programs. Ten programs arrive in the system at time 0, five each of classes A and B. Draw a timing chart showing operation of programs in the system until two programs complete their operation. Find their turnaround times.
