Answer / Roshan Rajnish Beck
Mutexes (mutual exclusion objects) follow these fundamental rules:
1. Ownership: A thread owns a mutex when it acquires it.
2. At most one thread can own a mutex at any given time.
3. When a thread releases a mutex, it becomes available for another thread to acquire.
4. Once a thread acquires a mutex, no other thread can acquire it until the first thread releases it.
