Suppose that the number of instructions executed between page faults is directly proportional to the number of page frames allocated to a program. If the available memory is doubled, the mean interval between page faults is also doubled. Further, consider that a normal instruction takes one micro second, but if a page fault occurs, it takes 2001 micro seconds. If a program takes 60 sec to run, during which time it gets 15000 page faults, how long would it take to run if twice as much memory were available? (A) 60 sec (B) 30 sec (C) 45 sec (D) 10 sec
