Answer Posted / Divya Chaudhary
The operating system takes several steps when a page fault occurs. First, it suspends the process causing the page fault, switches to the kernel mode and searches for the requested page in main memory or secondary storage (like disk). If found, it loads the page into the required location in main memory and resumes the suspended process. If not found, it requests the page from the secondary storage, which can take longer. The page is then loaded into the free frame in main memory, and the suspended process resumes.
