What is the degree of multiprogramming?

the number of processes executed per unit time
the number of processes in the ready queue
the number of processes in the I/O queue
the number of processes in memory
the number of processes in memory  Multiprogramming means the number of processes are in the ready states. To increase utilization of CPU, Multiprogramming is one of the most important abilities of OS. Generally, a single process cannot use CPU or I/O at all time, whenever CPU or I/O is available another process can use it. By doing this CPU utilization is increased.
