FreeRTOS - Task Scheduling

ABoth tasks print simultaneously without switching

BTask1 and Task2 print alternately in a time-sliced manner

COnly Task1 prints continuously, Task2 never runs

DTask2 prints first, then Task1 prints continuously

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand time-slicing effect on equal priority tasks
With time-slicing enabled, CPU switches between tasks regularly.
Step 2: Predict output behavior
Tasks will print alternately as CPU time is shared fairly.
Final Answer:
Task1 and Task2 print alternately in a time-sliced manner -> Option B
Quick Check:
Time-slicing output = C [OK]

Quick Trick: Equal priority tasks print alternately with time-slicing [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming one task dominates CPU
Thinking tasks run simultaneously
Ignoring time-slicing config
