In that work system, the shortest job gets higher priority because more gets accomplished in any amount of time.

If you have two hours to do 4 tasks and one task will take five minutes, one will take 30 minutes, one will take an hour and one will take an hour and a half, by using the shortest job first method, you will accomplish three tasks in those two hours and part of the fourth task.

If you do the longest job first, you will accomplish the task that takes an hour and a half, then only part of the one hour task, but nothing on the 5 minute or 30 minute tasks.

That means that by doing the shortest jobs first, you will accomplish three times as many tasks as you will by doing the longest jobs first.

Is it possible to implement more than one CPU scheduling Algorithms on one OS?

Yes. For Example, many operating systems have two schedulers, one for high priority\realtime processes such as gui elements and another for low priority\background processes. The high priority\gui scheduler will usually use a scheme such as SRTF (shortest remaining time first) or SJF (shortest job first), while the low priority\background scheduler may use a scheme such as RR (round robin).

What is the difference between a priority queue and a circular queue?

A circular queue is similar to the normal queue with the difference that queue is circular queue ; that is pointer rear can point to beginning of the queue when it reaches at the end of the queue. A priority queue is a queue in which each element is inserted or deleted on the basis of their priority. A higher priority element is added first before any lower priority element. If in case priority of two element is same then they are added to the queue on FCFS basis (first come first serve).
