uppose that a multiprogrammed system has a load of N processes with individual execution times of t1, t2, ...,tN. Answer the following questions: a)  How would it be possible that the time to complete the N processes could be as small as: maximum (t1, t2, ...,tN)? b)  How would it be possible that the total execution time, T > t1+ t2+ ...+tN? In other words, what would cause the total execution time to exceed the sum of individual process execution times?
