Disk requests come to a disk driver for cylinders in the order 10, 22, 20, 2, 40, 6, and 38 at a time when the disk drive is reading from cylinder 20. The seek time is 6 ms/cylinder. The total seek time, if the disk arm scheduling algorithms is first-come-first-served is
(A) 360 ms
(B) 850 ms
(C) 900 ms
(D) None of the above
Answer: (D)
Explanation: FCFS
Total seek time in FCFS Scheduling when the disk drive is reading from cylinder 20 for cylinders in the order 10, 22, 20, 2, 40, 6, and 38 :
= (10 + 12 + 2 + 18 + 38 + 34 + 32)*6 = 146*6 = 876 ms
As no other option matches the answer, option (D) is correct.
