Q6. Explain briefly the four

that is, when an attempt is made to execute a program, its admission to the set
of currently executing processes is either authorized or delayed by the
long-term scheduler. Thus, this scheduler dictates what processes are to run on
a system, and the degree of concurrency to be supported at any one time - i.e.:
whether a high or low amount of processes are to be executed concurrently,
