Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

Number of Processes, P = 4

Number of Resources, R = 5

Maximum Resources required by any process, n =2

So, first let us check the condition in which deadlock can never occur: P(n-1) + 1 <=R

If this condition evaluates to true in the given case, then deadlock can never occur.

P(n-1) + 1 = 4(2-1) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 <=5
