Question 1

What happens when a task calls the P operation on a semaphore and the count is zero?

  • The task continues execution
  • The task enters Blocked state
  • The semaphore count increments

💡 Hint: Think about waiting for something to become available.

Question 2

True or False: A mutex can be released by any task, regardless of ownership.
