Answer 1

Hii dear here is your answer



An Operating System (OS) is an interface between a computer user and computer hardware. An operating system is a software which performs all the basic tasks like file management, memory management, process management, handling inputand output, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.

Answer 2

OS: It is a software which sits between the user and the computer which makes interaction possible with ease.

The functions of OS are:

• Since it is a multi-manager, it manages all the resources viz CPU, memory, printer, scanner, disk drive, etc. This plays a significant role in “memory management” to carry out multi-tasking and keeping in mind about the “allocation and de-allocation” of memory.

• Provides services for the application software to run smoothly

• Acts as an “bridge / interface”
