Virtual memory are a part of operating sysytem in which
whenever ram have no space to execute any process than
operating system uses some part of hard disk as a ram.
Those part of memory known as virtual memory because this
is virtually created by operating system whenever needed.

which more process executes and ram have no space because
they contain more process already. Most operating systems
contains this concept.
