$P=\{P_1,P_2,P_3,P_4\}$ consists of all active processes in an operating system. $R=\{R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4\}$ consists of single instances of distinct types of resources in the system.

The resource allocation graph has the following assignment and claim edges.

Assignment edges: $R_1\to P_1$, $R_2\to P_2$, $R_3\to P_3$, $R_4\to P_4$ (the assignment edge $R_1\to P_1$ means resource $R_1$ is assigned to process $P_1$, and so on for others)

Claim edges: $P_1\to R_2$, $P_2\to R_3$, $P_3\to R_1$, $P_2\to R_4$, $P_4\to R_2$ (the claim edge $P_1\to R_2$ means process $P_1$ is waiting for resource $R_2$, and so on for others)

An audit of a banking transactions system has found that on an earlier occasion, two joint holders of account A attempted simultaneous transfers of Rs. 10000 each from account A to account B. Both transactions read the same value, Rs. 11000, as the initial balance in A and were allowed to go through. B was credited Rs. 10000 twice. A was debited only once and ended up with a balance of Rs. 1000.

Which of the following properties is/are certain to have been violated by the system?

Consider a system of linear equations $PX=Q$ where $P\in {\mathbb{R}}^{3\times 3}$ and $Q\in {\mathbb{R}}^{3\times 1}$. Suppose $P$ has an LU decomposition, $P=LU$, where
