Q9 (Modified Problem 45). Five batch jobs A through E, arrive at a computer center at almost the same time. They have estimated running times of 10, 4, 2, 6, and 8 minutes. Their (externally determined) priorities are 3, 5, 4, 2, and 1, respectively, with 5 being the highest priority. For each of the following scheduling algorithms, determine the average process turnaround time. Ignore process switching overhead.

(a) Round robin.

(b) Priority scheduling.

(c) First-come, first-served (run in order 10, 4, 2, 6, 8).

(d) Shortest job first.

For (a), assume that the system is multiprogrammed, and that each job gets its fair share of the CPU. For (b) through (d) assume that only one job at a time runs, until it finishes. All jobs are completely CPU bound.
