Given a real-time task set with three tasks with timing specifications as follows: Task 1: Period = Deadline = 100, Execution Time = 20; Task 2: Period = Deadline = 160, Execution Time = 70; Task 3: Period = Deadline = 260, Execution Time = 60; Assume all tasks are ready at t=0. Draw the time diagrams showing the exact sequence for each task within time interval based on the rate monotonic scheduling (RMS) and the earliest deadline first (EDF) policy. Is this task set schedulable under RM? Explain. Is this task set schedulable under EDF? Explain.
