Solution

When a process is in a “Blocked” state waiting for some I/O service, and the service is completed, it goes to the "Ready" state.

In operating systems, processes typically cycle through various states:

  1. New - The process is being created.
  2. Ready - The process is waiting to be assigned to a processor.
  3. Running - The process is currently being executed.
  4. Blocked (or Waiting) - The process is waiting for some I/O operation to complete.
  5. Terminated - The process has finished execution.

When the I/O operation that a blocked process was waiting for ends, the process is moved from the blocked state back to the ready state, where it can wait to be executed by the CPU again. This state management is crucial for efficient CPU scheduling and resource management.
