Work Step by Step

The banker has removed the condition of "Mutual Exclusion" from the deadlock situation. Deadlock arises when processes compete for resources and each process holds a resource while waiting to acquire additional resources held by other processes. In this scenario, the deadlock condition of "Mutual Exclusion" is removed because the banker borrows additional funds from another source, allowing both customers to borrow the required \( \$10,000 \) simultaneously. This action breaks the deadlock by ensuring that both customers have access to the additional funds they need to complete their business deals without waiting for each other to repay their initial loans.
