in an operating system, there may be a segment of code, which will be shared by many processes.but when two processes shares the code and if one updates the code while other reading it,there occurs a conflict.this is called critical section problem
To avoid this problem a lock is created on that block of code which establishes that no new process can access that block until the first process release it after it's usage.
Thus there would be no chance conflict b/w processes while reading that block simultaneously

What are Bryant University's 25th-75th percentile SAT scores?

What is mutually exclusive?
It is one of thecharacteristics of deadlock. When semaphores are used or mutual exclusion, the semaphore has an initial value of 1, and P() is called before the critical section, and V() is called after the critical section as shown below : semaphore-> P(); critical section semaphore-> V(); remainder section let us suppose that one process A is already executing its critical section then it implies that semaphore value at that time is zero. If process B now tries to enter this critical section , it cannot enter the critical section because it will have to wait before semaphore becomes greater than zero. This is possible only when process A executes its signal operation; after executing its critical section.
