Consider a swapping system in which memory consists of the following hole sizes in memory order: 10 MB, 4 MB, 20 MB, 18 MB, 7 MB, 9 MB, 12 MB and 15 MB. Which hole is taken for successive segment requests of (i) 12 MB (ii) 10 MB (iii) 9 MB for first fit? Now repeat the question for best fit and worse fit.

Fundamentals of memory

A collection of connected storage devices form the memory unit. It is a space to store data and instructions required for processing. Information is stored in a memory unit in the form of bits. There are two types of memory namely:
