Consider I have a user program of 6 pages and 4 byte page size. Now my memory has 300 frames out of which 10 frames are free for allocation. Can the OS allocate page 1 of the given process to any of these 10 frames or is there any specific algorithm to select a frame?

$\begingroup$ I find it hard to believe that you can run any kind of OS in 300 frames of 4 bytes each. $\endgroup$– gnasher729Nov 29, 2021 at 11:10

That's entirely up to the OS, and different OS's may have different strategies. In principle, the OS could assign any frame it wants.
