They are either handled based on priority or put in queue as they come. CHeck the answer.

Deadlock will occur.To overcome from this problem process scheduling algorithm is used.

They are handled based on priority highest priority interrupt will be executed. there are basically two modes of execution Privilege mode and user mode. In Privilege mode only previlege instructions will be executed.when multiple interrupts occur processor check for the priority and handled accordingly.

Actually all the jobs are processed by following a specific scheduling algorthim. So when multiple interrupts occur at the same time then CPU handles these tasks according to the priority.

There are some schedulling algorithms to control the multiple interrupts so many os mostly used priority based algorithm in this each process alloted with their priorities in that time they will execute.

If not used any algorithms tat may lead to deadlock state.
