Answer Posted / preeti

Deadlock:

Two processes are said to be in deadlock situation if
process A holding onto resources required for process B and
where as B holding onto the resources required for process
A.

Starvation:

This is mostly happens in time sharing systems in which the
process which requires less time slot is waiting for the
large process to finish and to release the resources, but
the large process holding the resources for long time
(almost for forever) and the process that requires small
time slot goes on waiting. Such situation is starvation for
small process
