In Question 4 i just kept counting new processes that are being added in every iteration. No. of new processes being created is equal to the already running no. of even pid processes.
Time - PId 0 - 0 1 1 - 0,1 2 2, - 0,1,2 3 3, - 0,1,2,3,4 5 4 - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 8 . . . 1,2,3,5,8,11,17,25,38,57,86,129,194 I kept counting, got 194. Don't know of any shortcut.
