C$=4500$

Consider that we need to allocate memory for a process. The process has five segments of sizes

$217$ bytes, $1123$ bytes, $430$ bytes, $789$ bytes, and $367$ bytes. The system uses a first$-$fit strategy

for a memory space of C bytes which is already occupied by three segments of sizes $200$ bytes

$($at the beginning$),400$ bytes $($at the middle$),$ and $500$ bytes $($at the end$).$

a$.$ Calculate if the process can be accommodated and illustrate $($with a simple figure$)$ how

segments are allocated in the memory. $(10$ points$)$

b$.$ Then, propose a strategy for better utilization of memory and discuss its implications.
