Thread pools limit the number of threads that exist at any one point, hence ____________

helping a limited number of processes at a time

not letting the system resources like CPU time and memory exhaust

helping a limited number of processes at a time

not serving all requests and ignoring many

Thread pools help in ____________

servicing multiple requests using one thread

servicing a single request using multiple threads from the pool

faster servicing of requests with an existing thread rather than waiting to create a new thread

If the thread pool contains no available thread ____________

the server goes to another thread pool

the server demands for a new pool creation

the server waits until one becomes free

Each connection arriving at multi threaded servers via network is generally ____________

is kept in a normal queue and then sent to the blocking queue from where it is dequeued

is directly put into the blocking queue

is wrapped as a task and passed on to a thread pool

is kept in a normal queue and then sent to the blocking queue from where it is dequeued

Thread pools are useful when ____________

when we need to limit the number of threads running in the application as a whole

when we need to limit the number of threads running in the application at the same time

when we need to limit the number of threads running in the application as a whole

when we need to arrange the ordering of threads
