We need to write two programs P1 and P2.

The Inter Process Communication needs to be implemented using FIFOs.

P1 and P2 are to be implemented as follows-

The first program P1 needs to generate an array of 50 random strings (of characters) of fixed length each. P1 then sends a group of five consecutive elements of the array of strings to P2 along with the IDs of the strings, where the ID is the index of the array corresponding to the string. The second program P2 needs to accept the received strings, and send back the highest ID received back to P1 to acknowledge the strings received. The program P2 simply prints the IDs and the strings on the console. On receiving the acknowledged packet, P1 sends the next five strings, with the string elements starting from the successor of the acknowledged ID.
