CONCEPT:

Nuclear reactor:

• In a nuclear reactor, the energy is generated by a nuclear fission reaction.
• In a nuclear reactor, there is a concrete chamber and in this concrete chamber, there is a steel vessel. In this steel vessel, the nuclear fission reaction takes place.
• Fuel rods: Fuel rods are placed inside the steel chamber.
  • These rods are made of fissionable material. Generally, fuel rods are made of uranium-235, thorium, etc.
• Moderator: It is used to decrease the speed of fast-moving neutrons.
• Control rods: These rods are placed between the fuel rods. It is used to control the chain reaction. Control rods are generally made of cadmium.
  • The nuclear reactors are controlled by means of control rods which are made of a strongly neutron-absorbent material such as boron or cadmium (Cd).
• Coolant: It is used to absorb heat produced during the reaction.

EXPLANATION:

• Moderators are used to slow down the neutrons in order to carry out effective nuclear fission and also absorb neutrons. 
• The main reason why heavy water is used as the moderator is that it captures less number of neutrons compared to normal water Hence, option 2 is the answer. 

The Correct Answer is Option 4 i.e Propane.

• Methane:
  • Methane is a colorless odorless gas. 
  • It is also known as marsh gas or methyl hydride. 
  • The molecular formula is CH₄.
• Pentane:
  • Pentane is found in alcoholic beverages. 
  • Pentane is present in hop oil. 
  • Pentane is any or one of the organic compounds with the formula C₅H₁₂. 
  • Its properties are very similar to those of butane and hexane.
• Propane:
  • Propane, sometimes known as liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG.
  • Propane is a three-carbon alkane gas (C₃H₈).
  • Propane is produced as a by-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. 
• Butane:
  • Butane is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor.
  • It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its vapor pressure. 
  • Butane is a straight-chain alkane composed of 4 carbon atoms. 
  • C₄H₁₀ is the molecular formula of butane.

The correct answer is option 1.

Concept:

When a process requests for the resource that is been held another process that needs another resource to continue, but is been held by the first process, then it is called a deadlock.

There are 4 conditions necessary for the occurrence of a deadlock.

Mutual Exclusion:

Only one process can hold a resource at a time. In other words, if a process P1 is utilizing a resource R at a specific moment in time, another process P2 cannot hold or utilize the same resource R at that same moment. Process P2 can make a request for that resource R, but it cannot use it at the same time as process P1.

Hold and Wait:

A process can hold several resources at the same time while also requesting resources from another process. A process P1, for example, can have two resources R1 and R2 while also requesting a resource R3 that is currently owned by process P2.

No preemption:

A resource cannot be forcibly removed from a process by another process. If a process P1 is using a resource R, for example, another process P2 cannot take that resource by force. If that's the case, what's the point of using different scheduling algorithms?  Process P2 can make a request for the resource R and then wait for process P1 to liberate it.

Circular Wait:

The first process is waiting for the resource held by the second process, and the second process is waiting for the resource held by the third process, and so on. Finally, the last process is waiting for the first process's resource. As a result, each process is waiting for the other to release the resource, with no one releasing their own. Everyone is waiting for the resource to arrive. This is referred to as a circular wait.

Hence the correct answer is Mutual Exclusion, Hold and Wait, No Preemption, and Circular Wait.
