If semaphore variable is 8 after 6 wait operations and 3 signal operations.what is semaphore..

Answer / deepika

let us assume semaphore value to be x before these operations.
Then 6 wait operations reduce its value by 6. So

new value of semaphore = x-6

3 signal operation increases the value by 3. So

new value is now = x-6+3
= x-3

But new value is 8. Thus

x-3=8
x=11

Hence our answer and semaphore value is 11.
