In the THE multiprogramming system, a page can make the following state transitions:

1. empty → input buffer (input production)

2. input buffer → processing area (input consumption)

3. processing area → output buffer (output production)

4. output buffer → empty (output consumption)

5. empty → processing area (procedure call)

6. processing area → empty (procedure return)

a. Define the effect of these transitions in terms of the quantities i, o, and p.

b. Can any of them lead to a deadlock if the assumptions made in Problem 6.6 about input processes, user processes, and output processes hold?
