Solution

The answer is c) 2. Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. You start with a circular queue of size 8, which means there are 8 slots available.

  2. When you enqueue 6 elements, you fill up 6 of the 8 slots. This leaves 2 slots empty.

  3. Then, when you dequeue 4 elements, you remove 4 elements from the queue. However, because this is a circular queue, the slots from which these elements are removed become available again.

  4. So, after dequeuing 4 elements, you still have the same 2 empty slots that were left after the enqueue operation.

Therefore, there are 2 empty slots in the queue.
