Question 20
Consider a process executing on an operating system that uses demand paging. The average time for a memory access in the system is \(M\) units if the corresponding memory page is available in memory, and \(D\) units if the memory access causes a page fault. It has been experimentally measured that the average time taken for a memory access in the process is \(X\) units.
Which one of the following is the correct expression for the page fault rate experienced by the process?
