Question 1

What algorithm gives pages a second chance based on their reference bits?

  • FIFO
  • Least Recently Used
  • Modified Clock Algorithm

💡 Hint: Focus on algorithms that utilize a 'clock' or circular approach.

Question 2

True or False: The dirty bit indicates whether a page has been accessed recently.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what the purpose of the dirty bit is in memory management.
