Answer Posted / sunil kumar
normally, increasing the number of frames allocated to a
process will reduce the number of page faults
however, not always the case
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
with this reference string, actually have more page faults
with 4 frames than with 3
this rare but highly undesirable situation is known as
Belady's anomaly
