Suppose thread one is downloading a 800KB file while another thread is processing the same file on a single CPU machine.Suppose further that one time slice allows the first thread to download about 10KB and that the second thread can process 10KB of the file in one time slice.The second thread can process the file while it is incomplete.How many total time slices will it take to process half the file?
A)thirty
B)forty
C)eighty
D)hundred

To process half of the 800KB file, 400KB needs to be processed. Since each time slice allows 10KB to be processed, it will take 40 time slices to process 400KB. Additionally, since the file is being downloaded simultaneously, it will take another 40 time slices to download the 400KB needed for processing. Therefore, the total time slices required is 40 (processing) + 40 (downloading) = 80.
